Further to my selling the guide I have decided to now give it away for all to enjoy.
Back over at the Official site www.fightingfantasy.com the build up to the launch of the new Ian Livingstone book, Blood of the Zombies, in August is mounting. The book is also being brought to us in iOS and Android formats by Tin Man Games under the Gamebook Adventures brand.
13th April 2012
Version 3 of my checklist and price guide is now available for sale on ebay.
Due to copyright restrictions I could not use covers or logos in it.
Off to Gadget Show Live on Sunday 15th April to see Steve and Ian judge the 4 indie developers submissions for the chance to win the right to publish a Fighting Fantasy game on iOS.

Hello, neglected fans. Please forgive me as I have been busy over at www.fightingfantasy.com as the new editor. Whilst I have been away I visited Dragonmeet with Ian Livingstone later last year, interviewed in issue 8 of the Fighting Fantazine where you can still find my regular column. Oh, and I even got a small article published in last months ScifiNow magazine. How remiss of me, talking about me. I have forgotten all about the new book coming out in August and the fact it is Fighting Fantasy's 30th Anniversary this year. 30 years, yes you heard me right. That means a lot of you reading this are already 40 or just reaching it, just like me, this year in fact. So, Blood of the Zombies, what do you think? Better than, Escape from Zombie Castle? Did you vote and have your say? The new book by Ian is eagerly awaited and I promise this time to keep this site updated. Follow the news on the official site and follow me on Twitter @fightingfantasy. Can't officially sign myself of as The Warlock here but I kinda just did anyway.
18th August 2011
IT'S OFFICIAL - I am now the new Editor over at the official site www.fightingfantasy.com
This is me (taking the picture) with Steve and Ian talking through the handover last weekend, oh and shamefully getting them to sign more books, but this time some of them will go as prizes over at the official site when I get around to running a competition or two.
I will try not to neglect this site and it will stay live.

They are all mostly in very good condition, I will tell you otherwise. A few of them are for sale on my ebay account from time to time (highlighted in red) so you need to check the one you want hasn't gone.

Blimey, all this activity. Firstly, I receive through my door a few days back the three books mentioned below in my 3rd May article. Thanks to Cubicle 7 who sent them with their compliments.
And secondly a Paul Arneil made contact with me yesterday with a picture of this poster I had not listed in my collector's guide. So a big thanks goes out to him for bringing this Sorcery! poster to these pages.

I am aware I haven't updated the site for a while so I thought it time to say a few words for returning fans and new visitors alike. I can assure you I am still alive and kicking and still very much waving the FF flag. I have to say I don't have any great finds to report other than to mention we have the continued re-publication of the books (15 - Armies of Death and 16 - Appointmnet with F.E.A.R) in the new series and we have the 3 revised Advanced FF titles to look forward to (below). You can also see my latest article in the next Fantazine. Be assured I will let you know if I do find something new and exciting.
  
Ever since I set up this website I have been using MS Frontpage but since I keep being unsupported by my host(s) I have found it almost impossible to keep this site going. I am currently using a web-based product to write this article and one that will at least let me make minor amends but as it does not allow me to do as much as I could, it is therefore time I made a new one. So, I have found a new web provider that I will be using to replace this one. It will look different but contain pretty much the same content but with the addition of a discussion forum and blog so that I can engage with the FF community better.
I have to mention as well that I have been busy selling signed books on behalf of Ian Livingstone that you may have seen for sale on eBay. I have loads still to sell but mainly foreign titles, if you are interested get in touch. You will also find version 2 of my collector guide on there for sale at £2.99.
One thing I need to get of my chest is the divide I have sensed for some time now between the unofficial forums (inc Fantazine followers alike) and the official FF site. It disheartens me to read some of the destructive opinions of some and in some way wish I could change that. I agree it could do with updating more often and doesn't reflect the needs or input of the aformentioned but is essentially a great site. Maybe I should try and do something about that and investigate how best the two can come together so the site appeals to old and new fans alike. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Until the next time.
