Why subscribe?

Tales from the Burning Bear is my home away from home in that virtual space known the writers head. Every week, at around opening time in the East End of London, you will get a new chapter from ‘The Pattern Mafia’, the first in a series of books about the Burning Bear crew. Ed-the-Ted is an ancient motorcycle mechanic who hates weird bollox, which is a pity because thats exactly what turns up care of Turkish, the very casual gang boss. Then there is Charli, the physics genius with the serious Bourbon problem, and Spade, Ed-the-Ted’s army.

If you like your hard Sci-Fi Noir with a Rock-and-Roll back-beat you’ll like it. A lot.

The Burning Bear is a strange attractor for the weird, baroque and alternately real, and that's just its customers. The tales they tell are best heard with a stiff drink to hand.
