Opportunities to meet authors, chat with them and ask questions in relaxed and casual surroundings don’t occur often. So, it was a real treat to be introduced to three separate writers on the same day, at the same location. (For those who missed it, that was on November 7 at CBH!)
I opted to ask all three writers (Greg Cox, Lance Parkin and Dave Thompson) the same opening question: At what point did you decide to pursue what you do as a career?
The early ambition of Lance Parkin was to be a journalist but he became disillusioned as he learned more about the position and didn’t pursue it. He was an early and forever fan of Doctor Who and loved the novelizations. At the age of 23 he thought to himself “I can do the same thing. I can write as well as this.”
At that time Virgin (the publisher) was putting out two Doctor Who novels per month and were looking for more writers. They were willing to accept unsolicited submittals and even made writers guidelines available. They would normally request the first three chapters as well as a summary/outline of the entire book. They accepted Parkin’s first submittal and went on to publish many more of his Doctor Who novels. Read More …
That’s right, folks – for the first time ever, Paul’s favorite two original bands, CUBANE and STILL MOON SERVANTS (formerly STONE CITY) will be sharing the stage. And… they will be right in our back yard – the East End Cafe – this Saturday, November 28th!
This is going to be like a mini Spark Summer Music Series as both bands have been invited twice in the last 3 years to be one of the 12 finalists. Each band will bring you some great original rock, as well as some familiar covers! Band CD’s and swag will be available. As of the moment, the bands are still deciding upon who will go on first at 9:30 PM. It doesn’t really matter, because you will want to stay for both! This is not a gig for you if you are into grunting, growling, or rap. This is true rock with lyrics!
You should be able to roll out of the house by Saturday night after consuming all that turkey. The East End is noted for their pub food. To sweeten the deal, I (Paul) am offering to reimburse you for the cover charge (probably $5-6) in the form of “green-tag” credit. No additional purchase will be necessary – just see me at the gig for a coupon redeemable at Captain Blue Hen Comics. My way of saying “Thanks” for stopping by and supporting original music.

For Greg Cox his youthful aspirations to become a writer came to full fruition while enrolled in college. As an English literature major his pathway became clearer as he distinguished himself from his fellow classmates. Greg refers to himself as the “token hack” of his class whom he considered to contain an abundant number of “literary snobs.” He is also very grateful for the guidance in creative writing he received there, including instruction from renowned professionals such as Vonda McIntyre.
He realized he was among the first of a few to appreciate all types of literature one day when an instructor rhetorically asked the class “who would demean themselves by writing novel-length adaptations of movies and television shows?” It was Greg alone who responded by vigorously waving his hand back and forth in the air and shouting “I would! I would!” and thereby earning his “hack” designation. Read More …
