Happy World Book Day 2009!

In case you didn't already know, today is World Book Day. So, seeing as how I now make a living from my books, I thought I would let everyone know about the different sorts of books I write and present something of a back catalogue for your perusal.

I am currently writing a series of steampunk science fiction action/adventure novels for Abaddon Books, featuring dandy hero of the British Empire, Ulysses Quicksilver. There are currently three books in the series - Unnatural History, Leviathan Rising, Human Nature - with a fourth, Evolution Expects, published in May, and with more to come after that. To find out more about the world of Pax Britannia click here.

To date I have had five Fighting Fantasy gamebooks published. They are Spellbreaker, Knights of Doom, Curse of the Mummy, Bloodbones and Howl of the Werewolf.

So far I have written a Doctor Who: Decide Your Destiny interactive adventure gamebook entitled The Horror of Howling Hill and have contributed to the 2010 Official Doctor Who Annual (published this August).

I have also c0-written two Sonic the Hedgehog adventure gamebooks, Theme Park Panic and Stormin' Sonic.

I have written three fantasy novels set within Games Workshop's Warhammer world. They are The Dead and the Damned, Magestorm and Necromancer.

I have also written three science fiction novels set within Games Workshop's far future medieval universe of Warhammer 40,000. There are two books about the Black Templars and the Armageddon Campaign - Crusade for Armageddon and Conquest of Armageddon - and a stand-alone adventure entitled Iron Hands.

I have written a number of non-fiction books as well. The most recent of these are Match Wits with the Kids, Go, Go Crazy for those Bones and What is Myrrh Anyway? Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Christmas.

As well as books I have also had published various novellas, short stories, comic strips and magazine articles.

I also go school visits and library talks. If you would like me to come into your school or local library to talk about any of my books or the writing process in general, please email me at paxbritannia@hotmail.co.uk.

GoGo's Crazy Bones - The Official Handbook

Out on 6 November is the GoGo's Crazy Bones Official Handbook (out only a couple of months after my unofficial one!).

Official word on the Official Handbook is: A playground sensation, based on a game played with real bits of bone 2,000 years ago, is selling out as soon as it hits toy store shelves! With 80 characters currently available, the toy range is selling millions each week. And now here come the official handbook! This is the ultimate read for any fan of "Gogo's Crazy Bones". With amazing facts and top stats on all of the Gogo's, loads of brilliant different games to play and a chance to design your own Gogo, this is pure Crazy Bones fun!
Grab your Gogo's and get ready to enter a whole new world of Crazy Bones © fun. Filled with profiles of all your favourite bones, brilliant things to do and amazing games to play. the official handbook is the book you need to call yourself a true Crazy Bones © fan.

It will be interesting to see what new games they come up with, having made up a fair few myself. I've got my copy on order - have you? (And there's a GoGo's Crazy Bones Official Calendar 2009 coming too!)

How crazy are you for your Crazy Bones?

Are you crazy about Crazy Bones? Do you go ga-ga over GoGo's? Are you just totally bonehead bonkers? Are you? Really?

Well, some kids are. They're so desperate to play with their favourite bits of plastic that even when their teachers have banned GoGo's they still smuggle them into school to trade in the playground at breaktime.

Of course, we here as Go, Go Crazy For Those Bones would never suggest you break school rules over your GoGo's - after all, you don't want to have them confiscated, do you?

GoGo's Crazy Bones - A Complete Guide

I have found another link to a website for the dedicated GoGo's Crazy Bones collector. It purports to be 'A Complete Guide' although it doesn't have half the information that you'll find inside Go, Go Crazy For Those Bones.

That said, if you're keen on collecting complete sets of GoGo's, including the new Evolution range - GoGo's, stickers, the works - then this site is probably for you. But don't forget your pocket money when you visit!

Get ready to Go Go Crazy!

Things are moving on a-pace with Go, Go Crazy For Those Bones. Today I have had the copy editor's comments through and have also seen mock-ups of the cover.

I can't publish them yet here, as they're not yet final, but it's going to look great. Very funky and a suitably noughties update of the nineties original.

The text has been fully revised and updated as well, so the book should be as hip a read as the new generation of GoGo's are cool.

As soon as I have a publication date I'll post it here.

Until next time...

Go Gos Are Go Go!

Eleven years ago, my sixth book, entitled Go Gos Are Go Go! was published. It was all about the latest craze hitting playgrounds and homes around the country - GoGo’s® Crazy Bones®!

For those of you not yet in the know, Go Gos are small plastic figurines which are a range of collectible game pieces. They were all the rage for a couple of years back in the 90s - and now they're back again!

They've been updated and improved for a new generation, so New GoGo’s® Crazy Bones® are hipper, funkier and cooler than ever before.

Well, I'm very pleased to announce that a revised and updated version of the book is going to be published by Icon Books this autumn, this time entitled Go, Go Crazy For Those Bones.

What you'll find in the book is the secret history Go Gos as well as numerous suggestions for games you can play with them.

What you'll find on this blog are updates about the newly revised and updated Go, Go Crazy For Those Bones and other news about the Go Gos craze that's sweeping the nation, from teachers' comments on their educational value to how Go Gos conquered the world.

So, what are you waiting for? Get Go Going!
