Hee hee hee! I’m very<\/em> happy with this: it’s a new feature for the Tim<\/strong> site in which the mighty Katie WebSphinx herself <\/strong>explains how she achieved its look<\/a> – and how \/you\/ can cause Tim<\/strong>-style Kaiju Carnage of your own!<\/p>\n

Katie is the pulsating brain behind pretty much everything you see on my sites. But when she and I first started putting ideas together for the Black Tat<\/strong> site<\/a> she decided she’d prefer to keep her shadowy genius in the background, Ninja style. Having Katie’s words (and feet!!) out here<\/a> front and centre for all to see is, therefore, a unique treat – but it’s a particularly timely one, right now, as she’s about to take off on maternity leave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’d like to take this opportunity to say an unspeakably gigantic THANK YOU, KATIE!<\/strong> And to wish her, Mr Will, and the impending Sphinxlet(!) much love and all the very best.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, look what just came through the door…!<\/p>\n

It’s the all-new Portuguese<\/strong> edition of Black Tat<\/strong>! It’s published by Edicoes Gailivro in their Mil e Um Mundos<\/strong> series (which also includes Stephenie Meyer, Anthony Horowitz and the especially awesome Geoff Ryman!) and it’s very<\/em> handsome large format paperback. I was particularly delighted to note that ‘yuck’, as in my dedication, ‘To Laura, “My heart is in my hand …Yuck<\/em>“, appears in Portuguese as, wait for it:<\/p>\n
