Unreality SF interview

There's an interview with me at

http://unreality-sf.net/interviews/mcintee.html

Probably more of interest to Dr Who fans, but...

They also have various other DW and Trek interviews, so it's well worth a look in general

Ta!
Mind you, I'm jealous of your getting to write Batman (among that DC stuff...). Wish they'd ask me to do that!

Hey, I'd love to write the new DR. WHO!

(I admit I'm not that familiar with the earlier incarnations.)

Wouldn't mind a go myself - though having done all those earlier ones I'm not too bothered if I don't.

It's weird, that; feeling both ways about it.

Ah, you're doing a Twilight of Kerberos novel. Michael and I pitched a couple of those, but weren't successful, I'm afraid.

That was pretty cool. Is there anyway to get ahold of any of the 1st-8th Doctor DW novels in the US? Because I wouldn't mind checking out some of the novels that were mentioned.

Yeah, I got turned down after the second reading. I have an invitation to pitch again when they reopen it for submissions but that's about it.

If you mean 1st - 8th doctor novels in general, whona.com might be a good place to start. They only have one audio book by Lonemagpie, though, according to the search function.

The BBC also has some classic novels online. Here. But only two of them (Nightshade, Human Nature) are downloadable, the rest can "only" be read online.

In addition to WhoNA (I've been a regular customer of theirs since 2001), try looking on abebooks.com, which has the holdings of a very large number of used bookstores.

As if by coincidence -- well, actually, it is by coincidence -- I'm currently reading David McIntee's Fifth Doctor and Turlough novel Lords of the Storm. It has a lot of the feel you'd expect from a Star Trek novel, being set on a human colony world a few centuries from now. One of the things that distinguishes it from the average Trek novel is that the colony was established by people from India, who've set up a society conservative in some respects (retaining castes) and less so in others (no purdah; women seem to be fully equal members of society). It's not a generic Star Trek colony that looks like California and where everyone is named Smith and Anderson and occasionally something exotic like, say, O'Reilly, and everyone has pretty much the same values, way of speaking, styles of architecture, etc as everyone else. There's actually some thought put into making it different and having some plot elements arise out of that difference, so it's not just set dressing.
