Floating along on a bed of epicurean marshmallows, Malcolm IV, king of the giant gerbils, nibbled on a lovely stilton and ordered the destruction of Paris by his army of flying pigs armed with lances and flame throwers.

In the Kingdom of the Glowing Eggs, the latest crop of chimeras – half voluptuous maidens, half capybara – hatched and sucked on the teats of the mountain gorillas, who whispered immutable songs of myth and lore.

A giant ant, pink and blue and spraying formic acid from it’s stomach, tore him limb from limb.

He woke up shrieking.

‘Nice trip, Malc?’

‘That’s some bad stuff, man.’

For the month of April I am taking part in the A-Z blogging challenge, and am posting about my State Trilogy novels each day, including plots, themes, characters and the writing and publishing process. So if you’ve read the books, or haven’t but might be interested in them, I hope it will be of interest to some of you. All the posts published so far can be found HERE.
