http://jameslecky.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 1, 2013. While Tales From the Computerbank has been a fun thing to do, I've been very remiss with my blogging of late. So. in an attempt to kickstart things again I'm moving my blogging activities across to Wordpress (although there should be a thank you to Blogger and possibly one of those "it's not you. it's me." kind of conversations into the bargain). New random thoughts and ramblings can be found at http:/ jameslecky.wordpress.com. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Kings of the Night. Nephi...

Tales From The Computerbank: James Herbert RIP
http://jameslecky.blogspot.com/2013/03/james-herbert-rip.html
Thursday, March 21, 2013. I've just found out, via the BBC, that the British horror/ dark fantasy author James Herbert has passed away at the age of 69. In the UK, certainly, he was one of the writers responsible for the horror boom of the 1970s and 1980s with such novels as The Rats and The Fog which were, in many ways, the forerunner of Splatterpunk, with their graphic depictions of violence (although, as Herbert himself pointed out, they were never as graphic as people assumed them to be).

http://jameslecky.blogspot.com/2012/06/ray-bradbury-1920-2012.html
Thursday, June 7, 2012. Ray Bradbury 1920 - 2012. One of the giants of science fiction and fantasy, Ray Bradbury has passed away at the age of 91. Author of, among many others, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Something Wicked This Way Comes and innumerable classic short stories, Ray Bradbury was - and continues to be - a guiding light of science fiction, often moving the genre away from its 'rockets and ray guns' roots, although equally often at home using the familar tropes of the genre.

http://jameslecky.blogspot.com/2012/02/lemuria-here-we-come.html
Saturday, February 4, 2012. Lemuria, Here We Come. I'm going back to my roots, reading wise, this month. In practical terms this means reading a heapin' helpin' of sword and sorcery.

Still, the fact is that the genre that refused to die has, quite simply, still refused to die. Hence my delve back into its history. Lemuria, here we come. Ill check i...

Tales From The Computerbank: December 2012
http://jameslecky.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 8, 2012. Is now up at Swords and Sorcery and you can find it at. Http:/ www.swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/story-2.html. As I've mentioned before, it's the first in what I hope to be an ongoing series of tales involving the two central characters - Varus, a Roman legionary displaced in both time and space, and Barcaradin, a sorceror without a soul. It's been a while since I've written any 'pure' S&S, so it's nice to see this one out and about in the world, hopefully folk will like it.
