Philip Henry Writer of Irish Horror

I had a great meeting today at Northern Ireland Screen about the Vampire Dawn script. I'm pleased to say this was HELPFUL! I've got so many terrible notes on scripts in the past it was nice to meet someone who knew what he was talking about and was able to look at the script with fresh eyes. I've already got some great ideas for the next draft. I'll meet NIS again when that's done, and if everyone's happy the script is in good shape, then we move forward.

The Andy Porter Retrospective is back on! This was the night of shorts that had to be postponed from last November and is now showing at the Portrush Playhouse on 7th February. All the films showing that night, including two of mine - Dated and Working Late - and the premiere of the long-awaited new short from the Benson Brothers, Tosser, are made by or star people from the North Coast so come along, it's free in!

Another big thanks to all Kindle users! The digital versions of all my books are selling well, but Vampire Dawn is selling in mad numbers! Since I haven't done any additional publicity or advertising for the Kindle editions, I can only assume this is due to good word of mouth. So thanks to everyone spreading the word.

There are also a couple of other potentially exciting things on the book and TV front, but I don't want to say anything yet in case I jinx them. I'll let you know if they come to anything.

Finally, thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback so far on My Ivory Summer. I was worried about straying too far out of my genre with this book, but it seems people are loving it. I always really appreciate reader reviews on Amazon - this isn't just to feed my ego; the more reviews a book gets, the more Amazon will promote it in their emails, so even if it's only a line or two, it helps a lot. Cheers!
