At last year’s NewCon5 in Northampton I met a gifted artist, Andy Bigwood. He was looking for writers to be inspired by his art, and create flash stories to be in his forthcoming book, The Sixty. It has a launch date with Ian Whates’ anthology ‘Further Conflicts’ at 6pm on 22nd April at 
EasterCON, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham UK. This won’t be the first time I have written fiction inspired and accompanied by art. One of my favourites where I had time changing with altitude was What Kept You? published in Ultraverse here. The Sixty is something special in that my fiction is not only in a wonderful book of art, but alongside favourite writers such as Bec Zugor, who was with me in M is for Monster, and in Escape Velocity. Also the creative genius, Liz Williams, who has my Exit, Pursued by a Bee on sale in her witchcraft shop in Glastonbury.
Of course all the authors involved cannot grace the cover so I am one of ‘the many more’ , of which I am proud. For in that many more are superb writers I am honoured to be with. Jon Pinnock and Bec included.
Andy Bigwood’s art can be found in his online gallery here.

Thanks for your kind words, Geoff. I’m honoured to be in the same book as you again.
