about
"The Queen" is the first in a series of short pieces that have piled up on my hard disk since my retirement from games journalism in 2003. Last year I was asked to read something at "Reads Like A Seven" and rather than resorting to my archive I took a chance on this. After the reading I was approached by a couple of editors who offered me the opportunity to publish -- but I declined. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do.
Now I've had time to think and I've decided to try something.
As an experiment in self-publishing I've recorded a studio version of "The Queen". Everyone can stream and listen for free but if you think it's any good I'd like you to pay a quid (or more!!!) to download it in a high quality audio format of your choice. If it's popular enough (say, 300 downloads?) then I'll record another one. And I promise to publish the download data in the text for INT#2, should it happen.
Am I crazy? Is the piece worth it? Is £1 the right price? Is that target out of reach? I have no idea. But the worst case scenario is that a piece that was locked away inside my PC is available to everyone now. I'm fine with that. I hope you enjoy it.
