I don't know if you live outside of the UK, Michael, but the politics of 70s police dramas were dodgy at the time, and they are no less so on spoof form in a scifi cop drama. The whole thing was very mildly entertaining, but at heart really not th...
I've written just such a book, as it happens. BONE MACHINES will shortly be available as a free e-book on my blog, but it was originally published by Bright Spark publishing in the UK in 2007. It's not USA, though, but set in Scotland. But definit...

The "Novel & Short Story Writer's Market" is a great place to start. I found most of my submissions that way. It has a symbol system that makes it easy to browse. I give it a thumbs up.
I think there's a UK version of "Writer's Market 2010." It m...
My first novel has already been published - by a small press in the UK. Agents were not interested in the first one, mainly for that reason. Ironically, had it sold in very high numbers, they might have been interested.

- Hi John,
I also am a member of Crime Space and saw your bio. Your books sound very interesting. My wife was born and raised in Glasgow, so your stories that are sent in Glasgow caught me attention.
Possibly we can become Crime Space friends.
