I thought I had come up with a brilliant scheme to confuse the monsters for long enough to let us all out of here. I revealed to them that the title of the 8th (and final) Jimmy Coates book will be a single word beginning with G. And for a while I really had them [...]

The Rescue Attempt – Part 1
From TBM Guest Blogger – Elizabeth Kay… I was walking back through the snow on Monday night, minding my own business and plotting out this really great story about a monster who dies from acute indigestion when I heard it. “Psst. Hey, you.” The voice was somewhere between a gravelly burp and a wet fart, [...]
BBC Radio Northampton
Breaking monster news: three of the trapped authors – Mark Robson, Ali Sparkes and Tommy Donbavand – managed to get a ‘phone line out of the cave to be interviewed by Bernie Keith on BBC Radio Northampton this morning. You can listen to their pleas for help here: [Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Last Seen in Newcastle
My thanks to EILEEN ARMSTRONG and everyone else I met there for a fantastic evening at the North East Teenage Book Awards last Friday. Tommy has written a fine account of the nicer parts of the night, so scroll down to take a look: it’s just a few posts below this one. Sigh. If only [...]
Deep Pan, Crisp And Even
Desperate for something to eat that doesn’t squeak when you bite into it, last night the eight of us drew straws (David was disqualified because he actually ‘drew’ a straw) to see who was going to sneak past the monsters and order the pizzas. It was Sam…
Radio Ga-Argh!
The lovely folks at Radio Cambyshire (right in the heart of cheese-snorkling country) have broadcast a report about the eight of us trapped by the monsters. You can hear the piece by clicking play on the ultra modern, web-fangled audio doobry below: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] If, by some chance, the player [...]
We’ve Been Wordled!
I’ve been trying to get inside the minds of our captors. But it looks like they’ve been getting inside ours as well! Every word we’ve written has been entered in a monstrous database, and they’ve built up a complete psychological profile of the group of authors in here. But I’ve stolen it! Here it is:
A Confession…
I have a slight confession to make to my fellow captive authors… I have a bit of monster in me. It’s true. I’m sorry. It was even captured on video when I was making a trailer for my Scream Street series last year. Here, for the first time, is that video…
HOTDOGS
Finally, a chance to blog. For several days I have been keeping a low profile to figure out what these beasties really want. One of them has had its beady eye on me the whole time. He has the head of a snake, the body of a snake, and the legs of a snake. It’s [...]
Now wait just a minute!
I shouldn’t be here. Now before you all start giving it “nor should we”, let me explain. It seems that we’ve been kidnapped on the basis that we have created some stories in which monsters have – how can I put this – received something of a raw deal. A sword through the eye in [...]
