Hi Shaun
What do you think about TIKTOK, Only fans or any other shit, it is appalling, that girl who wants to shag a 100 guys, do they not have family who advise that is appalling behaviour. Yuk!! My beautiful Daughter is a firefighter, definitely not on the same money, but gives something useful back to society, I am so glad I raised her not to be a saint, believe me she knows how to swear, but a proper person. Looking forward to your next novel, again email me if, and when you are in London for tickets.
All the best mate
John Elliot

Hi John, great to hear from you again... I fucking hate TikTok and most social media because it allows a horde of untalented twats to pollute the world with their pointless lives and views. That fucking slag who wants to shag 100 guys a day I see is now “recruiting” younger girls to fuck alongside her. My disgust at this tart isn’t some prurient Victorian type reaction to what she’s doing it’s the fact that she is making money without talent!!! And I don’t consider taking 100 dicks in a day talent... sorry. I know what you mean about your daughter, John. I’m the same. My daughter is 29 and I consider myself very lucky she grew up with a mind of her own. The problem is (without going into a prolonged rant) that kids see these fucking no marks on social media, realize they’re making money without any talent at all and want to copy them. It’s understandable in a sad, pathetic way. Why not make dosh for doing fuck all? But they will grow up with no work ethic. A bit like every other fucking so called celeb. They’re all whores, they just earn their money by different means... John, I will deffo e-mail you when I want to visit the Eye and I thank you once more for the offer. Take it easy.

Hi Shaun,
Right! On to the main business... The Slugs 3 synopsis and possible locations.
So, slugs could be given away in Happy Meals but you need to be aware of libel and trademarks. Could call them errr... Surprise Snacks, Jovial Munch or Fookin' Breakfast Box. I don't know. That's a shit idea - like the burgers.
What we need to do is invent a Mad Scientist who makes our titular molluscs into biological weapons for warfare/shits 'n giggles. There's the man/slug hybrid.
You could set it in a greengrocers...
That's it. I'm fresh out of hints and I'm not on your money! You'll have to do the leg work.
See ya,
Mark Anthony Smith

Hi Mark... love those ideas... you’re more fucking warped than me you nutter... lol... I’ve started Slugs 3 and it’s coming along nicely. Especially the bit with the slugs in happy meals... lol... if I use any of the ideas listed above, you’re in for a cut of royalties you mad bastard. Take it easy, Mark.

Hi again Shaun,
Heh, glad you liked the title, feel free to use it!
So finally got around to watching the Slugs movie, not as bad as I was expecting after all the comments I’d heard, reminded me of an average Vipco movie (remember those video nasties? Driller Killer, SS Experiment camp, Demon spawn?) Still, I’ve seen worse!
I became aware of that book, ’Finish this, end of story’ last week so went and got a copy. Think I’ll give it ago (don’t worry I won’t inflict the result on you!) I know the winning one is on your site but won’t read it till after I’ve had a go.
Think I’m being stalked by a copy of ‘Victims.’ I wanted to get a copy to replace the one I lost in OZ and found a ‘very good condition, no marks or damage... ’ copy for £3.50 online so bought it. Def not a good copy, creased, torn pages, stain damage... no reply from seller, and two days later found a mint copy in a charity shop for two quid. Got a refund from the site though. I gave the copy to my mate who also collected horror, then he went and snuffed it on boxing day and his family asked me to try and sell his books (3000 plus) to raise money for his daughter. Sold a lot but that Victims is back on the table next to me again, that one eye leering through the bandages like it’s stalking its next victim...
So evil blizzard...

Few links to get you going. Lots more around both live and studio. Last one starts with their wives and partners playing before they take over. Great bunch of lads always there for the fans played (with them couple of times too) and raise money at gigs for charity...
I await your thoughts eagerly!
Shakey

Hi Shakey, good to hear from you again. I’m glad you enjoyed SLUGS THE MOVIE. I’ve come to love it over the years. I think I was being a bit of a pretentious wanker at the beginning when I used to slag it off... lol... There’s a really good documentary on Amazon Prime about video nasties which I watched last night which included all the ones you mentioned. You’re right, Slugs was a bit like one of those. I’m currently working on SLUGS 3. Trust me, it will be just like the old days... lol... It’s coming along nicely so far. Glad you finally got a copy of VICTIMS back (not so much the way you got it... sorry... ) That cover went through so many different incarnations believe me. I went down to the printers when it was published and signed 5,000 copies in 3 days! My fucking hand nearly fell off!!!
Thanks for the Evil Blizzard links, I will finally get around to having a look... honest... All the best, Shakey.

Hi Shaun,
I hope you’re well. I’m a new fan. My partner brought me 5 of your books for valentines and I’ve read three and about to start the 4th “Erebus”. My first read was Relics, then Assassin followed by slugs. My last read will be victims. What would you recommend I follow on with? So far Assassin has been my favourite, I like the violence and brutality. I’m a very obsessive reader and your books have gotten me completely hooked. I plan to have these last two finished this weekend so would love to hear your thoughts on which to follow on with! Anyway, thank you for the work you have done, consider me a new fan for life!
Steph Chaney, 33, from Great Yarmouth!

Hi Steph, many thanks for your message. You partner sounds like a fine judge of books... lol... so glad you’re getting into my stuff. I always thought ASSASSIN would make a great film but no one has ever had the balls to do it properly. If you’re going to continue with my stuff (which I hope you will) I’d go for RENEGADES, NEMESIS, DEADHEAD and CHASE. If you still like me after those then...
By the way, Steph, I spent almost every holiday from the age of 8 right up to about 15 in Great Yarmouth... I love that place. I bet it’s changed a lot now. I used to love the waxworks in Regent Street but I’m guessing it’s not there anymore. The wax museum in HEATHEN (another recommendation) is based on it...

Hello.
I hope you are well.
I'm a recent convert to your books. I must say I am really enjoying them! Thank you very much for writing.
I am wondering whether you have ever written or intend to write a Science fiction story? I'd love if you did.
Thank you so much.
Kind regards.
Elena Conway

Hi Elena, good to hear from you. I’m really glad you’re enjoying the books. I think the closest I ever got to Science Fiction was the novelization of The Terminator... I think the science side of it always scared me off. It takes too much intelligence... lol... You never know though, Elena, maybe one day...

Right you lot, many thanks again for your questions and your interest. Keep them coming. Just to let you know, I’ve started SLUGS 3 and it’s going well so far. Next book out will be HOLLOW POINT with good old Sean Doyle again... later this year... keep your eyes peeled...
