Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been scrambling to hit my deadlines to make sure the decks were clear for a return trip to Edinburgh... this time, with the Bride and Brood. (Last year I flew solo.) We leave today.This isn't a work trip; it's a proper vacation, a sorely-needed chance to recharge my batteries after many months of non-stop work. Besides, a writer can't live in his/her basement. You have to go out and experience the world to have something to write about. (I'm dying to write a horror novel set in Edinburgh one of these days. Which I may or may not call MacCannibal.)
We'll be staying in close proximity to Allan Guthrie, whose new novel Slammer is just out in the UK (and will be out here in the US this fall), so you can expect some of his insanity to show up here on the blog. You remember what happened last time, don't you? And the time he lost his memory in Philadelphia?
The two of us will be doing a drop-in stock signing at Waterstones on Princes Street this coming Tuesday afternoon (March 24), so if you're anywhere in the Edinburgh area and want to say "yo" to this Philly boy, come on down.
Okay, so maybe this is kind of a work trip. Writers can't help it; life tends to be one massive research session for the next book/comic/screenplay. And the next one. And the one after that...
(Above photo from my last trip to Edinburgh. Not its best side, but I like it because it reminds me of Philadelphia.)

This time last year we met in Glasgow--this year has gone so fast.
Have a great time! And say hi to Al and Donna for me. I'd love to be returning to Scotland but it won't be anytime soon.
I'd love to see a Swierczynski horror novel.
Isn't Lothian the forest where Galadriel lives?
VG
Will the Swiercynski clan be wearing kilts?
Playing bagpipes, perhaps? Have a great vacation!
Sack the castle for me!(or, at least bag-tag it, if that will get you slightly less arrested)...
Beware the parsnip soup and the feverish grin of your host.
Has Iron Fist been canceled? According to June solicits, #27 is the final issue, please say it ain't so.
I also share Michael's concern. I heard that Iron Fist #27 would be the last issue. Any info concerning this would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, speaking of Iron Fist, just want to say you, Foreman, and the rest of the crew on the title are doing a wonderful job. Hope all is well in Scotland!
Is this so the next Werewolf By Night arc can just be call Werewolves of Scotland?
