Never mind the puppies - just buy the damn books

Two books for your consideration:

The Cusp Of Something by Jai Clare (released 1 November 2007).

From Elastic Press: Jai Clare’s stories are filled with the disaffected, those who kick against their everyday lives, who crave the mystic when seeking their spirituality, and who are desperate to be alone as much as they are desperate to be with someone. Whether in North Africa, Greece, or Britain her characters’ concerns remain the same. To find meaning in the universal and the personal, through transient sex or emotional depth. All told with a fluid intensity of prose that cuts to the heart of them, lays them bare to misfortune and fortune, and stands them waiting on the brink of discovery.

Two Tall Tales And One Short Novel by Heidi James, Kay Sexton & Lucy Fry (out now).

From Apis Books: Two Tall Tales and One Short Novel, is a collection of stories by three of the UK's brightest new writing talents: The Mesmerist's Daughter by Heidi James, Smokin' the Queen by Kay Sexton, and In the Clear by Lucy Fry. Together the stories transport the reader into the minds of three very different characters.

It just so happens that both Jai Clare and Kay Sexton are close and personal friends of mine and not only are they fantastic writers but also lovely, beautiful people. So if you don't buy these books then you are effectively pissing on my grave. You wouldn't piss on my grave, would you? I thought not. To make things easier for you, here are some clicky things you can use to buy these great books (because you are going to buy them, aren't you, rather than piss on somebody's grave, namely mine).

Pre-order The Cusp of Something from Amazon UK
Buy Two Tall Tales and One Short Novel: Anthology of Shorter Fiction from Amazon UK
OK, I'm done pimping my friends. Time for coffee and cookies.
