Added quite a few interviews to my site now with more coming soon. I decided to go with a set interview for each author to see how they differ in their approach to the same questions. You can tell from some that their brains are ticking over all the time with ideas and concepts, the sort of...

You could try Jo Walton, a fairly new author of Arthurian style fantasy. You can read about her books and her home page here : Jo Walton books Jo Walton home page :)

A friend of mine reads Vonnegut and I know he also reads work by Richard Brautigan, a popular writer of strangeness. Steve Aylett is a bit out there as well.

You could try Chelsea Quinn Yarbro or P N Elrod. They both have a few vampire novels under their belts and seem to have a good following.:)

What about Jessica Rydill or Garth Nix? Not read them myself but these two authors come highly recommended for their fantasy work. If you fancy a bit of really dark fantasy try Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. :)

Fancy doing a review of this book for my site? :)

Aaahh...the C64. What a great computer. And I seem to remember it had some of the strangest games ever developed. It's hard to imagine we'd sit for soooo long waiting for a game to load, then all the rewind/forward winding to find the next bit. :)

Don't worry it's not a live chat with the authors, I'm collecting questions to do an interview with them, so if there's anything you wanted to know about them or the writing process then feel free to ask. Btw Steve Aylett and Jon Courtenay Grimwood have agreed to join in this as well. The...

The closest author I can think to this is Neil Gaiman, especially his Sandman graphic novel series (if you can be bothered with gn's). Perdido Street Station by China Mieville has that sort of feel albeit with a taste of fantasy thrown in. erm...How about Michael Marshall Smith...

Been into home computers for over 20 years now, starting with a Commodore Vic20 (anyone remember those). Eventually moved onto PCs as Macs, at the time, seemed more geared towards professionals in business. So used to them now I don't think I could change.

I'd say you've got your basic idea so start writing it and see where the story goes. Keep a separate notebook for ideas and if you come unstuck with the book dip into the notebook and see what you can use. Also you'll have numerous rewrites to do so the ideas notebook will definitely come in...

So where's your question then? ;)

Jasper Fforde and Eugene Byrne Just thought I'd let you all know there's an opportunity to have a question answered by Jasper Fforde and Eugene Byrne at my site. The link is below. Thanks. :)

How about China Mieville or Adam Roberts for something a bit different. Recommends: Perdido Street Station - China Mieville On - Adam Roberts

Hi Jonas, I'd definitely recommend the Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn Peake and deserves more recognition as a classic than it gets in my opinion. The character work in these books is fantastic. It has moments of humour, surprise, shock, intrigue, and the list goes on. If you want something...
