Bob Blackman - that's me - is a new name in humorous sci-fi fantasy, lo-fi garage engine punk. In fact, I might be the only name in .... well, let's just call it funtasy.
If you are looking for some light-hearted imaginative entertainment, feel welcome to have a browse. Even if you're not, come right on in - you might know someone else who would enjoy my stuff, maybe even buy them a present they'd really like (he added hopefully)
Et in Anarchadia Ego
This site features my high-octane works of imagination, fantasy and mech-anarchy.
There are sample chapters for each book so you can try before you buy, links to Amazon and downloadable One Page Books to introduce you to interactive digital print-on-demand.
And then there are the additional features such as glossaries of Anarchadian terms, tests to see if you can spot gremlins, background info on Nick Hob, Wormton and Anarchadia itself and lots and lots of artwork.
There's also media information, a contacts page, maybe even a video and links you might find of interest if you are a kindred spirit.
I am also the man with two blogs. There's Anarchadia for the inky-fingered arty-farty wordsmiths and Engine Punk for the guitar wielding gear heads. One provides the latest news on my publishing adventures. The other features me getting worked up about some inspirational Vintage Thing and both kinds of music - punk and rock.
This site is a constant work in progress so you will come across the amazing Forthcoming Attraction Engine among its pages and it's best viewed through Mozilla Firefox. For the sample chapters you'll need a pdf reader, too
The Horsepower Whisperer is already available on Amazon - watch out for news on more outlets and more books with go faster stripes.
