Steve Does Fiction

As you may know, as well as displaying my vast intellect by running blogs about comics, Dr Who and Top of the Pops, I've been known to do fiction too. My novels Danny Yates Must Die and Mr Landen has no Brain (HarperCollins/Voyager) are still spoken of in hushed whispers wherever people have laryngitis. Likewise, my short stories have sometimes been scattered, like chaff, around genre periodicals..

But now I've moved on, to the magical world of Kindle, and here's where I can plug my titles that are currently available in that format. Remember, if you don't have a Kindle machine thingy, you can download ebooks onto your computer via the free software that Amazon provide.

Thank you for your time. Every purchase is appreciated.

On an October night in the 1970s, a girl sits on a wall. Some say she's trouble. Some say she's a witch. Some say she doesn't even exist. Whatever the truth of the matter, she's waiting - waiting for the unnamed Billy Morten and the three objects he carries.

Because, when he gets here, she can perform the kind of dark miracle that can only happen when there are no grown-ups around to see it.
