destiny

[adelaidesean]

One of the highlights of my honeymoon that I forgot to mention earlier was watching the finale of the latest Dr Who season "live" on TV in a friend's living room in Oxford (while, as an added bonus, eating real English hot chips--yum). Even if I thought the episode a bit sub-par (okay, I hated it), that was a very special moment for me. Sad fanboy that I am.

So no less excited am I to hold in my hand a copy of Doctor Who: Short Trips: Destination Prague, the wonderful hard-cover anthology of Doctor Who stories edited by my dear friend Steve Savile*, in which my effort, "Midnight in the Café of the Black Madonna", is the lead story.**

That amounts to a very long-winded way of saying: hurrah!

* And containing stories by other dear friends Stephen Dedman, Rob Hood, and Lee Battersby.

** If you want to know what the Third Doctor got up to between Jo and Sarah, this is the place to go. It also features aliens invented by my pseudo-son Seb. (He read the final result over the weekend, and liked it. Whew.)

Is Seb your toughest critic (apart from yourself, of course)?

Seb hasn't read much of my stuff, being 15 and more into TV and computer games, so it's nice that he got through the story and liked it. That makes it a very fine compliment indeed. :-)

If it can hols a 15 year old, then it must be good.

Now I'll have to get the book...
