Alive and kicking
When someone contacts you to say they'd wondered if you'd died, you know it's time to update your blog, even if you don't have anything much to say except, I'm still here!

1 · RETINAL SCAN INITIATED
A recent Internet search via Google for "Derek Paterson" produced 4,890,000+ hits. This was quite a surprise to someone who thought he was unique down to the subatomic level. This version of me lives in Scotland, UK, and writes Science Fiction, Fantasy (the gory kind), adventure and crime fiction. I've had a few short stories published and am working on a veritable plethora of novels and screenplays. Mind you, I've been saying that for years.
2 - My webcomics!
3 - My old AOL webpage
...has been resurrected, since it had a few things there that I was always looking for. Fortunately I had all the HTML files and graphics saved on my hard drive, since they would have otherwise have been lost when AOL pulled the plug on its members' Hometown pages.
Eugie Foster's review of Oceans of the Mind's "Colonies" issue including Paradigms at Tangent Online "...is a charming story of self-sacrifice, heroism, and survival. The mysterious abduction of a construction drone on an Offworld Scientific Research Station leads to panicked conjecture..."
§
Greg Beatty's review of Oceans of the Mind's "Industrial Solar System" issue including Made In Heaven at Tangent Online "If I haven't given much sense of the plot, that's intentional—just read the story, and know that evil is punished, virtue rewarded, and that true love wins out."
§
Barry Hunter'sreview of The Vampyre's Kiss at www.baryon-online.com "...has written another tale in an interesting series that is more thought provoking than some of the other tales being written today."
§
Linda Suzane'sreview of The Vampyre's Kiss at www.suite101.com "This is a light, fast paced story, full of exciting action, sword fighting, and fair maidens to save. THE VAMPYRE’S KISS is well worth reading if you are looking for a light fantasy."
§
Christopher East's review of The Big Guy at Tangent Online "...doesn't succeed fully as a self-contained work, relying too heavily on its source material." Bummer, dude.
§
Carol Castellanos'sreview of The Kaiserine's Champion at www.simegen.com "I would definitely like to see more from this author possibly a more expanded second book."
§
Elaine DiMicco'sreview of The Kaiserine's Champion "...is sure to please anyone who enjoys a swashbuckler fantasy. I highly recommend it."
§
Linda Suzane'sreview of The Kaiserine's Champion at www.suite101.com "The Kaiserine's Champion is full of assassins, political intrigue, dark and dangerous spy masters, sword play, and a very honorable hero in the tradition of all the great swashbucklers."
§
Dennis Kriesel'sreview of Them's The Breaks "The premiere issue of Sintrigue Dot Org (SDO) Detective offers a strong showing of fiction in the mystery and detective genres."
