The Book of Doom

The second hilarious book in Barry’s AFTERWORLDS sequence – comic fantasy perfect for fans of Pratchett and Douglas Adams. There’s panic up in Heaven. They have mislaid the BOOK OF DOOM – the most important object in existence. Oopsy. They think Satan might have stolen it, the sneaky...

BEHOLD! The Face of Barry

I think it has now more or less been decided that my official author photo is the one below. You can click the image to make it larger, though why you would want to do such a thing is beyond me. I hate getting my photograph taken. It makes me feel uncomfortable to the point I lose all control of my facial muscles. I also get so stressed out I gain half a stone in weight in the time it …

In this video blog I talk about what the best part about being an author is, and answer the question on everyone’s lips – what is my favourite kind of cheese?

Borders collapse imminent?

I’ve been following the saga of bookshop chain, Borders, for the past year or so. During that time it seems to have lurched from one crisis to another, and now – according to this article on theBookseller.com – the end could be dangerously close for the troubled store. Now I am and always will be a fierce supporter of independent bookshops, but the death of any place that supplies books to readers is a tragedy, whether the supplier be a …

Interrogate me. Please.

I’m in the middle of planning out some future video blogs (although I use the word “planning” in its loosest possible sense) and I thought it’d be good to get some questions from readers of this ‘ere blog, which I could answer in the videos. So, if there’s something you’ve always wanted to ask an author (well, this author in particular) now’s your chance. It can be about the process of writing, getting published, finding ideas, creating character, etc, or …

New Video Blog Ahoy!

I wanted to do another video blog, but had no idea what I was going to do it about up until I started the camera rolling, so it’s a bit random and disjointed. Sorry. I promise for the next one I’ll think about what I want to say before I open my mouth to speak. You can actually see the mild panic on my face at 0.05 when I make the decision about what to talk about. You’ll also notice …

Mr Mumbles Wallpaper

Last week I posted these wallpapers over on TrappedByMonsters.com, and now I finally have time to post them here. There are two sizes available at the moment. To put Mr Mumbles’ charming face on your desktop, simply click the image that fits best with your screen resolution. Then, when it has loaded in a new window, right-click on the full sized  image and choose “set as desktop background”, “set as wallpaper” or something along those lines (depending on which browser …

Mr Mumbles publication date changed

I found out yesterday that the first book in the INVISIBLE FIENDS series – MR MUMBLES – which was due to come out on January 7th, will now be published on February 4th. The reasons are all marketing related, as the publisher, HarperCollins, believes bringing it out in early January is too close to Christmas for it to make much of an impact. By bringing it out in February there is more opportunity to promote the book in advance of …

Mr Mumbles on your Desktop

Over on Trapped By Monsters I’ve posted a lovely desktop wallpaper featuring the equally lovely Mr Mumbles. I’ll post it here when I get a chance, but currently a bit snowed under with work (not that I’m complaining). If you want to make your computer desktop look all Invisible Fiendsy, head on over to TBM now.
