Stones and Bones available: online!
Well, you should all have received your paper copies of Stones and Bones by now: that is, if you ordered one. For those who didn't (or our readers outside the UK, a free downloadable PDF is now available of the full booklet.
Stones and Bones in post
We've now sent out copies of Stones and Bones to everyone who requested one. The PDF version should appear on this site in the next few days. In the mean time, for anyone who doesn't have a paper copy, there's some sneak previews available on the site.
Thanks again to all our subscribers, and we hope you have a great Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.
Stones and Bones listing confirmed
Stones and Bones, the second Pocketful of Lies, is currently being polished and honed—remixed, if you like—and we've published a provisional table of contents to tide you over, and verify that short stories of some sort are on their way to whoever so desires.
If you'd like a FREE copy of Stones and Bones, and you live in the UK, and you haven't already done so, feel free to order one now. Delivered to your door, hopefully in time for Christmas, and the only burden of cost for you is that you honour our wishes to pass on this modicum of good will to your fellow men.
We're back, with a new Pocketful of Lies
Well, the site has been fairly quiet for some time, but there's been a lot going on behind the scenes. Following much beavering away at the electronic typewriter, we've come up with another Pocketful of Lies.
Last Christmas we released a free booklet consisting of some of the best stories from Quiet little Lies, called A Pocketful of Lies. It was delivered for no charge to whoever wanted it, and proved surprisingly popular. At least half a dozen of the subscribers were not grudgingly pitying friends of the authors, but instead were random members of the public. We think one of that half a dozen was actually trying an internet scam, but even that was enough to warm the cockles of our miserable hearts.
This year we hope to release the second compilation of mostly new material under the title Stones and Bones. More information closer to the time, but if you'd like a copy of APoL#2, then feel free to order your copy of Stones and Bones now. We hope to deliver paper copies to at least the first fifty UK subscribers.
(Note: if you received APoL #1, you will still need to resubmit your details. Or just drop us a quick note and we'll stick you on the list.)
More QlL stories live
As part of the ongoing rebirth of the QlL site, we've a number of extra stories and serials on the site. Some are brand new, while some are old favourites from the previous incarnation of QlL.
Our new serial is Numbers, a set of lightning-short stories with a numerological bent. Consume one in your lunch hour, or settle down for an evening reading all of them. When they all go live, that is: keep tuned to our RSS feeds for updates.
Along with new content, the experimental serial A little bit of espionage is now live, and there's stacks of extra stories up there in the archives.
We're also hoping to bring some of the new content into this year's publication, hot on the heels of A Pocketful of Lies. Plans are afoot, and we'll bring you more news once we're actually certain of what we're doing.
Thanks for continuing to read QlL.
