Zoran Živković on PS Publishing title ‘Twelve Collections and The Teashop’
Posted in: UKSFBN Talks To on 27th October 2007 by Sandy Auden
Surreal fantasist Zoran Živković has been having quite a year. In August he was presented with the Stefan Mitrov Ljubisa award for services to literature in his native Serbia. Shortly afterwards he was made professor of Philology at Belgrade University and in-between he managed to squeeze in a Guest of Honour appearance at the 2007 Eurocon in Copenhagen.
The majority of his works have been published in Serbia and also translated into English; many of them have been published in the UK by award-winning independent press PS Publishing, including an anthology of his earlier works entitled Impossible Stories (available at a 50% discount until the end of November as part of the PS Autumn Sale!) and three more titles - a novel and two novellas are in the PS pipeline.
His current title from PS Publishing is Twelve Collections and the Teashop. The very human desire to collect objects is something we have all experienced at some time in our lives, and Zoran Živković unmasks this obsession by introducing us to a dozen of the strangest collectors you've ever met.

Sarah Pinborough on horror fiction, screenwriting, TAPS and more
Posted in: UKSFBN Talks To on 14th September 2007 by UKSFBN admin
Sarah Pinborough is a British writer with four novels to her name to-date, all published by Leisure Books in the US and a fifth is scheduled for summer 2008. So far, Sarah has specialised in old-school, traditional horror fiction, but she's looking to broaden her creative horizons all the time.
Sarah has sold a new novella to UK independent PS Publishing which she describes as "unlike anything I've written before" (see below for more details) and she has also been accepted onto a TAPS course for budding screenwriters.
We dropped her a line to ask her about the course, and her ongoing plans for her prose-writing career.

Chris Roberson talks about new novel, Set The Seas on Fire
Posted in: UKSFBN Talks To on 11th August 2007 by Sandy Auden
Chris Roberson's name is already on the grapevine as a rising genre star and his career certainly seems to be gathering momentum. The last twelve months has seen the release of The Voyage Of Night Shining White from PS Publishing and Paragaea: A Planetary Romance from Prometheus Books; with The Dragon's Nine Sons coming out from Solaris in 2008.
But that's not all. His current novel was released this month and is called Set The Seas on Fire. It's a historical fantasy, a nautical adventure set during the Napoleonic wars, full of all manner of ship-to-ship combat, muskets and sabers. But at its heart it's really a love story. With zombies.
UKSFBN tracked Mr Roberson down to pop him a few pertinent questions...
