The Name Game.

Well, the name of Book two has just gone up on Babayka-Lives, which means I’m gonna have to call time on this week’s competition. Congratulations to any and all smarty pants who figured it out. Just to show I did sneakily name drop the title of Book two on this very blog back in late September, and for those folks who missed it, check below where all will be revealed.

And as it says over on Babayka-Lives today. Please keep checking back for all the latest updates and previews of the forthcoming second Babayka book. Or Babayka Land to give it its official title now.

James Bond Style.

If all goes to plan, I should be dropping the name of the second book in the Babayka series this coming Saturday over on Babayka-Lives, as well as roughly when readers can expect it. As the title to this blog post might suggest, I decided for fun I was going to announce it James Bond style (I’m sure a lot of you can figure out what that means), so drop by to find out what Babayka’s next misadventure is going to be called this weekend.  

Bonus game: I’ll give a free signed copy of Brides Of Babayka to the first person who can guess the name of Book 2 before Saturday (the 28th of November). Hint… I’ve already sneakily name drop it in a blog post within the last three months on this very blog, so happy hunting. I swear it on here somewhere, folks.

Comment below or by Email at the usual address if you think you can find it. Or just try and fluke it and guess, if you’re feeling jammy, and don’t forget to tune into Babayka-Lives this Saturday to find out if you guess right, and the name of the second Babayka book.

The Dead Walk.

Just had to post this photo of the cover of the local paper which I stumbled across this week and thought was very cool. It reminds me of when people in zombie games\movies come across a paper in the middle of a empty street with a photo of a zombie on the front cover and a headline like ‘The Dead Walk’. The scene when they show what the last ever newspaper front cover would look like in a zombie apocalypse.

So that’s the end of Brides Of Babayka, folks. Hope you all enjoyed reading it. Feedback is as always welcomed at the usual Email address. I’m hard at work on Book 2, and will be letting details slip about it very soon, so watch this space.

A Quick Thank You.

As the final page of Brides Of Babayka goes up this coming Saturday, I’d just like to put out a quick thank you to a certain group of people. Namely all those folks who both kindly bought the graphic-novel, and also didn’t post any spoilers online. You people will forever have my thanks. As we reach the end of Book 1 on Babayka-Lives, I feel it’s nothing short of a miracle that no one did. With troll culture being the annoying, itchy rash of the internet age, I thought it was only a matter of time before some faceless swine did, to be honest. It seemed like ‘low hanging fruit’ just waiting for some bitter, attention seeking troll or trollette (or whatever a female version of a troll is called) to come along and do so. There’s more than enough copies of the book floating around both the UK and the US, that I really did think it would be more a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ someone did go online and leak the storyline, so the fact that this didn’t happen is very cool, and shows how awesome readers are.

So again, thank you to all those that bought the book and stayed tight-lipped about spoilers. It says good things about you as human beings that you did. I wish I knew the identities of more of the people who are buying copies of Brides Of Babayka in these early years. I sometimes secretly wonder if maybe it’s the curse of being a horror writer, that people are therefore less inclined to approach you?

So soon we’ll be moving on to Book 2 (the title of which will be announce James Bond style very soon, so keep an eye out for that), but for now, hope you’ll all tune in this Saturday for page-100 of Brides Of Babayka, your last bit of sequential Babayka action for 2015. So check out the action at Babayka-Lives this weekend.
