My brilliant mate Katie, who designs and maintains all my websites, is about to head off on maternity leave. Before she does, she’s just completed a mammoth list of updates. If you check out the sites for The Black Tattoo, Tim, Defender of the Earth and Crawlers you’ll find that all broken links have now gone, the links between the sites and the homepage are much clearer and the Reader Quotes, Q&A, Editions Details, Reader Art and Interviews pages are now fully current with all the latest. In addition, to my particular glee and delight, I can now – at last! – also show you THIS:

And THIS:

Congratulations, arm-waving and awed disgust to Welly Woo, creator of these images and the undisputed winner of Round Ten of the Black Tat No Monsters Were Harmed In The Making Of This Website Competition!

As the sinister masterplan has continued, keeping on top of its online element has been no small task – particularly for The WebSpinx who (lately) has kept it all going through a major house move while bringing up a very young child and expecting another. I think my sites for The Black Tattoo, Tim, Defender of the Earth and Crawlers – plus, of course, my homepage – all look awesome, so I hope you’ll join me in raising a virtual glass in salute to Katie and her hard work.

All Hail the Mighty WebSpinx! Here’s wishing you all the best, my dear. And thank you so much. 😀
