Tommy in grave peril (geddit?!)
For those of you having difficulties viewing the Scream Street trailer, I’ve now uploaded it to YouTube here. Unfortunately, the quality of the video suffers due to YouTube’s compression settings, and there’s nothing I can do about that. Still, it’s watchable if you squint a bit… ;o) Tommy
Well, Scream Street 5: Skull of the Skeleton is complete!

Simon and his publishers, Fremantle Press, have teamed up to provide Hal Spacejock in ebook format (in three handy formats, no less) simply by […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
