I'm back!

Howdy folks,

Just wanted to let you know that NickKyme.com is back on the web-waves (or whatever). We have a temporary interruption in service due to some bandwidth issues (it seems that a few people are heading to the site and I need more space to fit them all in - which is great! Please keep it up!).

Anyway, my webmaster has performed the necessary malarky (you can tell how web literate I am, right?) and all is well again (though, I suppose you've already guessed that by now on account of you reading this post).

It's all go at Kyme Towers at the moment (I don't really live in a tower, I just like the way it sounds). The good lady and I are having a new bathroom put in so I've been punted to the bedroom to conduct my writing. It's a little cramped but I've got my station set up and am putting the finishing touches to that 'special' Warhammer 40,000 project I've got on the go. Once that's done this morning (hopefully - just re-reading the text to hone and tweak), I'll be working on the glossary to Honourkeeper, which I've decided to put in due to fans asking me to do so.

After that, it's on to a certain Salamanders short story. I've heard rumblings on various esteemed blogs (the good people of WarSeer and Bolter & Chainsword to name two) that the title for the novel, i.e. Salamanders, felt a little uninspiring and prosaic. I think that's a fair comment. I just want to add that sometimes we poor authors are 'urged' by various Marketing and Sales factions to have titles on our novels that, for want of a better phrase, 'do what they say on the tin' - ergo, first book about Salamanders - let's called it Salamanders. Not very creative, I'll grant you that - I'll see if I can do something about that.

Got to say, I'm desperate to divulge what the secret project is, but I just can't - not yet. Soon as I can I'll post.

Got a few blogs planned for this week. I'll revisit the reading shelf again as this seemed to be popular and I've got through a few more novels since last time.

And (in the style of Columbo), just one more thing - I'm heading out with a small posse to see the Dark Knight tonight (a review to follow if I get time). I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to this movie. Two and a half hours of Batman-related coolness - sounds darn fine to me.

Bring on the Knight!
