pulp fiction
I’m not a big fiction reader, but when I do, I tend towards crime thrillers--often historical--and you already know I’m a big fan of anything retro or mid-century. So, I was thrilled to be able to do some design work for an amazing writer, Hobert Glasse.
Hobert writes with such an edge you simply can’t help but be swept along. It’s like the best ‘50s style Mickey Spillane pulp novels, but set in the present day.
I say “set”, but to be honest, I’m not entirely sure if Hobert is telling us a true story or not. Whatever it is, it’s exciting, addictive and oh, so sexy (oh yes - you might want to wrap your computer in brown paper).
Give Hobert’s Avenging Olympia a read and add it to your RSS stream. I promise, you will love this.

beautifully creepy
Found this fabulous blog the other day and as a result, bought these two fabulous prints by Jason Limon:
They’re from a run of only 30 signed and numbered prints at a, well, fabulous, price. I’ve got mine now, so I’ll let you in on it: http://www.gallerynucleus.com/prints
Ooh, and don’t they look lovely with Burnt Toast?

weegee the famous
It may be obvious by now, but I love old photos. Never heard of the guy before tonight, but here are some fascinating images from Weegee the “Famous”.
And Unknown Weegee from the International Center of Photography.

uh-oh, pipped at the post
Did I say “It’s Lovely!” was my new favourite blog? It’s my second favourite today. This gorgeous site is my new favourite:
(PeeEss, actually, my absolute favourite is my fella’s blog, but it won’t ever fall off the top slot, so perhaps can’t count.)

my new favourite blog
Who doesn’t like peeking into other people’s houses to see how they’ve decorated, huh? I mean, the inspiration!
Oh.

a novel novella
My guy has written his first book - a novella called HorrorCon. I’m not just saying this, but it’s brilliant. He’s an incredible writer with an amazing imagination.
What’s more, you can buy it from Lulu now.
Oh, and guess who did the photography and design? :-)
