Mon, 09 Jun 2014 20:32:30 +0000

During the writing of Famous For Retreating, we had to learn the editor’s art of ruthlessness, by cutting material out of the script. One entire scene written by Ricky Temple, set immediately after the sequence in which Merlin teaches Aedric the ‘THUNDARA’ spell, ended up being removed altogether. It was quite a neat, entertaining scene […]

Chapt. 1 Jan-Jan watched the moonlight dance across the gently lapping surface of the distant ocean and sought in vain once more for a means in which her attention could be occupied. She had exhausted the possibilities that lay within the cart hours ago. The others had insisted on packing light, taking only what they […]

Chapt. 1   Wren had been worried from the outset about sending Jan-Jan ahead to scout the camp. It was not that he thought she lacked sufficient stealth or subtlety. On the contrary, her feline training and upbringing had taught her more than enough about the art of infiltration.   No, her litheness and talent […]

Chapt. 1   As plans went, this was not a masterpiece. Leytan had a number of skills in the sphere of survival – his Atlantean biology gave him great strength and resilience in water while his Winterian blood gave him enormous resistance to cold temperatures – but climbing was one aspect of the arts that […]

Chapt. 1   It was not for the first time in recent weeks that Rogo was trembling. It was for the first time in recent weeks that his trembles were brought on by fear rather than by cold weather.   He was sat in the darkened throne room of the deserted Tower of Goth. He […]

 Chapt. 1   Rogo’s dark robes looked awfully heavy to wear in the unseasonably warm weather, but Leytan was aware that his prospective employer was returning from the north. Indeed, the expression on Rogo’s face spoke of relief rather than discomfort; he was used to warmer climates than the north of England, while winter in […]

This interview was originally published in issue 52 of the fanzine, as part of the semi-regular feature The Audio Play’s The Thing. _______ 1. Do […]
