God of Clocks

Scotland on Sunday did a nice piece on God of Clocks, and the Deepgate Codex as a whole. The good thing about not reading reviews is that when somebody sends you one, it's generally a nice one. This was one of those occasions when my family went out and bought multiple copies of the newspaper. (Although, saying that, it also contained a special memorial supplement on Michael Jackson, which might have had something to do with it.)

IN THE hierarchy of bookish values, literature trumps crime, crime looks down on sci-fi, and sci-fi is sniffy about fantasy. Despite attempts to categorise all non-realist novels – sci-fi, fantasy, and the even more maligned horror – as "speculative" or "weird" fiction, the pecking order is enshrined in bookshops and review pages across the country...

Ok... Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been away for a while. I was going to blog about best man speeches, since I've been trying to write one for a while now. (Hardest thing I've ever done).
But later, later. First you have to see these wonderful images. Two different styles, but both from talented artists.
