Recent fanfic master list
Aug. 25th, 2018 10:45 amI've written so much new fanfiction that I'm just going to put a master list of what I've done altogether instead of posting separate stories. Enjoy!
What We Leave Behind: The New Year is here. What will it bring?
Clean-up on Level Seven: In Minas Tirith, a year after the siege, some secrets are uncovered.
The Lady That Dies Not: "What did she say to you, the lady that dies not?" Faramir and Galadriel in Minas Tirith.
Fair Game: Some addiitonal chapters to an old story, in which Faramir comes to terms with his recovery from PTSD.
Proof: How to win friends and influence people. More chapters about Faramir's early days with the Ithilien Rangers.
Commendation: "Give me enough medals and I'll win you any war." Napoleon Bonaparte. Who gets the honours in Minas Tirith?
Work and Love: "Work and love are the cornerstones of our humanness." Sigmund Freud. Faramir in the Houses of Healing.
The Broken Men: She filled the house with her fierce healing love, and when all was ready, the men had come. A story from Ithilien, in the Fourth Age.
The Treason of Beregond: What moved Beregond to act the way he did?
Age Shall Not Weary Them: "At the going down of the sun and in the morning / We will remember them." Remembering the fallen of Minas Tirith.
Rain Dance: In the first days of peace, Faramir takes stock.
We Need to Talk About Denethor: Faramir and Eowyn convene a family council.
The Lay of the Last Queen: He worked through the pages, scratching out a word here, a line there... Faramir is writing the Great Gondorian Novel. Slowly.
Legerdemain: Gandalf teaches a young Faramir a trick or two.
In Blackwater Woods: Denethor grieves.
Fealty With Love: The night before the coronation, a conversation between the man who will be King, and the man who will be Steward.
Busy month...
Aug. 2nd, 2018 02:41 pmIt's all gone a bit mad on the fanfiction front...
I've added a whole new bunch of small chapters to the end of Fair Game, all about Faramir's further recovery from combat stress.
And I've gone back to an old story called Proof, and added several new short chapters to that, all about Faramir's early days with the Ithilien Rangers.

Fair Game - Coda: Replay
Jul. 25th, 2018 08:28 pmA long time ago I wrote a story called Fair Game, about Faramir and his nephew, Déor, in which people go bird-watching and find their courage.
A little coda appeared today. You should read the other story first. It's a nice one.

I'm extremely proud to have an essay in this collection from the Mythopoeic Society, Perilous and Fair: Women in the Works and Life of JRR Tolkien.
My essay is about fanfiction, and is titled: "Finding Ourselves in the (Un)mapped Lands: Women's Reparative Readings of The Lord of the Rings". You can read a review of the book here [PDF file].

Hi all. It's been ages since I posted here, not least because I've been writing the following two books! The Baba Yaga is now published; Doctor Who: Royal Blood out in September.
I'm very proud of The Baba Yaga, which, although set in a shared world created by Eric Brown, is my first non TV tie-in novel. It's a space opera about Lovecraftian aliens and people's mums. I'm delighted with how it's come out. And of course I'm always chuffed to get to do a Doctor Who book!

Goodbye HASA
Sep. 15th, 2014 06:46 pmFarewell HASA. You were a mixed experience for me, rather like having the Ring bitten off my finger, but I wish you'd been able to continue for the many to whom you gave pleasure.

Things and more things
Nov. 6th, 2013 01:03 pmThe Crimson Shadow has been doing very nicely, thank you very much, and its brief appearance on the NYT bestseller list has meant that I've ended up doing a bit of publicity as a result.
Here I am in the local paper, the Cambridge News.
And I'm on local BBC Radio Cambridgeshire here (first half hour or so: only 2 days left to listen and I'm not sure whether you can listen outside the UK).
I've done several other podcasts recently as well:
Literary Treks 38, discussing The Crimson Shadow in depth.
Bookmark on Cambridge 105, local community radio, talking about writing in general and Doctor Who in particular.
And the lovely people at Verity! (a Doctor Who podcast done by Six Smart Women) interviewed me back in September, see here.
And there are two books out at the moment with which I'm tangentially involved:
Middle-earth Envisioned is a stunning hardback book about Tolkien adaptations on screen, stage, and beyond. I have a short sidebar piece on the Stewards of Gondor in book, film, and radio.
And please support Behind the Sofa, which is a collection of celebrity memories of Doctor Who, in aid of Alzheimer's Research UK. That link goes to a signing at Forbidden Planet in London tomorrow, if you happen to be in the area. I posted about this book before, but this is a relaunch from a bigger publisher, and the book has been expanded significantly. Good Xmas present.

The Crimson Shadow
Oct. 9th, 2013 12:09 pmMy new book Star Trek: The Fall - The Crimson Shadow is out now in both the UK (today) and the US (from last week), and it's getting very nice reviews.
It has also - rather excitingly - appeared in the New York Times bestseller list. I'll take that, thank you very much!
