Hey. So I've been waiting to share this since last summer, so now that I can finally do so...

I wrote a story for Obverse's second Paradise Towers anthology: "ICE HOT"!

Along with my own short story, it also includes new stories by Stephen Wyatt (Paradise Towers, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy) and several other expanded universe alumni (Faction Paradox, Bernice Summerfield, Leftbridge-Stewart and more) as well as other new authors, all edited by Kara Dennison (The City of the Saved, Forgotten Lives).

Pre-orders are open now!

Doctor Who Publisher Launches Obverse Music with The Eleven Day Empire

#DoctorWho Publisher Launches @obversemusic1 with The Eleven Day Empire

In an unexpected but certainly welcome news, Obverse Books has launched Obverse Music, a range promising the best in audiobooks, readings, and music. This has actually been long in the making: almost since Obverse Books first popped into being with Iris Wildthyme and the Celestial Omnibus way back in 2009, there was talk of an audio line under the Obverse umbrella. But life gets in the way and…

Obverse Books has opened preorders for Volume One of The Boulevard, a new two-volume Faction Paradox anthology set in the Boulevard of Alternate Brutalities from the 2010 Iris Wildthyme short story “The Shape of Things”. The summary takes the form of a new piece of Book of the War apocrypha!

THE BOULEVARD [Faction Paradox: Location Unknown]

More formally, The Boulevard of Alternate Brutalities, the Boulevard is a Faction Paradox prison.

Physically, the Boulevard is, as the name suggests, a single broad street, stretching for an unknown distance in both directions, and lined on one side with a dense forest of oak trees.

Facing this forest is the prison itself, which is comprised of buildings lifted from throughout history at the moment of their destruction. This lifting extends to the street immediately outside each building, giving the Boulevard a patchwork appearance, and leading one time travelling visitor to describe the Boulevard as a ‘funky Frankenstein’s Monster of a place’.

Behind each doorway on the Boulevard there is a cell, containing a single prisoner. Each cell can extend to encompass anything from the traditional square concrete enclosure with barred windows, to an entire planet. It is believed that the Boulevard is controlled by an appointed Godfather and a cadre of Cousins, assisted by guards taken from certain of the more aggressive Lesser Species.

Although there has never been any formal proclamation regarding the purpose of the Boulevard, it is believed that the environment of each cell is tailored to the punishment – or, possibly but implausibly, the rehabilitation – of the individual imprisoned.
