It's a onesie made of fleece. Head to toe HP snuggly awesome.

From Primark a shop in the UK.

I have... *counts on fingers* fifteen personal copies that aren't already spoken for. I will send you them for £2.99, but I must ask that you also pay shipping if you live outside of the UK. That's what they're selling for in the shop, after all. The equivalent base price (before shipping) is, at current rates of exchange: US$4; €3.37; AUS$5.17; CAN$5.08; and 1419.30 Mauretanian Ouguiyas.

I'll be asking my fiancée (GeekyGoth of this parish) to help me set up a PayPal or similar to which payment may be sent. Once that's done, I'll put details in a post on the Board and start taking orders.

I'd also like to thank everyone in the Board for being so supportive of this. The PPC made me really think about my writing - what worked, what didn't, and what I actually liked to write. It's been invaluable, and I couldn't ask for better people to help me grow as a fan writer turned pro.

Thank you.

I can't ever say that enough.

It varies between a ghost story from the point of view of a six-year-old child to poems about fairies to a spoof review of an exhibition comparing Turner to Dorothy Cross.

The overriding theme, though? Power. And what we do with it. What we excuse because of it. Be they a burger van operator and part-time supervillain in a decaying seaside town, a modern art lecturer and defender against the unknown horrors of a terrifying multiverse, or a former naval officer with a very special wristwatch, it's about power in the end, and what people with power will let themselves get away with. Power fascinates me. It's why I write a Time Lord, at least in part. Power, and people with power, inform every aspect and every moment of our lives, and what they do with their power - however meagre, however local - ripples out into the world. A little old man who's lived at number 22 for as long as anyone can remember might not think they have power, but they do, and it's interesting to look at it and analyse it and, well, appreciate it. We all have power, in our own way.

It's up to us to decide what we do with it.

I don't have an ISBN number for the collection, but I'm looking into getting an ebook version set up, and that will be available internationally. Or at least, more internationally than my university bookshop.

"Anomalies: Short Stories" by Scapegrace.

Because I just spent half an hour trying to search this post up before resorting to literally trawling the Board page by page.
