Tim Lebbon – horror and dark fantasy author

Just a quick update on the new fantasy novel I’m working on, ECHO CITY FALLS.  This is a standalone novel, not a Noreela book, and I’m at the halfway stage (and any writer will tell you, that can sometimes be a difficult part of a book …)

I’ve had some difficult moments, but generally it’s going well, and I’m particularly pleased with the scene I wrote today in which a massively fat woman eats a bat.  Oh yes.  There are reasons, believe me … it wasn’t just that she was hungry.

More updates coming soon, including news concerning a couple of my books that have been under opton for a while.

Meantime … we’re waiting for more snow.  Horrah!  I see no one commented on my snowman, you must have all thought it was shite!  So here’s hoping I’ll have another one to show you tomorrow.

… but we don’t get it much, so the kids and I spent the morning making the most of it!  Snowball fights, walks in the local woods with our monstrous mutt Blu, and then to end it all a ridiculous snowman.

Dan got cold and cried, but only after two hours doing his best to hit me in the face at just the right angle to get snow down my shirt.  He perfected it almost immediately.   Ellie put on a new set of clothes each time she went out and got cold and wet, so now our radiators have been smothered with wet garments, and our windows are steaming up.

Fantastic snowfall this morning.  I love it.  They say we might get some more later in the week … bring it on!
