So, we finally did it. We have an anthology, both print and ebook and we have a website.

​

We have also engendered a renewed wariness, when it comes to the editing process, and a tad more admiration for editors in general!

​

There are three events lined up for Oct/Nov, all local to Leicester - but we'd love to take the show on the road in 2018- and look forward to building on this rather hesitant beginning.

​

Grimalkin started out as a tiny idea and it's very much a micro publisher - as yet- but we still feel a massive sense of achievement in having come this far. Our first print books are on order and we are all looking forward to holding the finished product in our hands. Ebooks are fantastic, but there's nothing quite like a print book when it comes to making a writer feel happy.

​

I do, however, have to refer to one sad event.

​

Some years ago a friend, Gary Murning, and I decided we wanted to produce a small press magazine. We did it; for all of one issue! Our press was called Malkin Books, short for Grimalkin. When Martyn, Stuart, Kate and I came together to create this new project, it seemed obvious to pick up the name again and Grimalkin Books was born.

​

We decided that we'd experiment on ourselves for this anthology, but Gary would have been invited to submit to the next. He was a writer of great quality and enormous imagination. Was, because on the day I uploaded the finished text, I heard about Gary's very untimely death.

​

Sometimes life goes in circles and sometinmes those circles have a big piece missing.
