Welcome!
Hello and welcome to www.jameslovegrove.com, the number one internet resource for all things of and pertaining to James Lovegrove. If you are interested in (or curious about) the work and life of this author, look no further.
The blog is updated more or less regularly, giving details of my latest publishing shenanigans, occasional book / movie / music recommendations, and the odd escapade from my own life.
There is a biography, a “compleat” bibliography and a list of published short stories, and you can read extracts from all my published books to-date, including my latest title, Age of Ra.
The contact page will give you direct access to my email and finally, you can see the sort of websites I like to visit from time to time over at the links page.
Fans of quirky and hard-to-classfy fiction, opponents of mainstream blandness, despisers of supermarket twenty-titles-only literary homogenisation, lovers of the left-field and the unpredictable and the contrary and the downright perverse… you’ve come to the right place.
James Lovegrove's latest novel:
Redlaw: Red Eye
The sequel to Redlaw is finally here. This one sees our vampire-policing hero, now working freelance after events in the first novel, travel to the east coast of America. There, he finds himself in the thick of the worst winter in living memory and also at the mercy of Father Tchaikovsky, a vampire shtriga in priest’s clothing. But this isn’t the only enemy he has to face. A team of specially enhanced black-ops soldiers are gunning for him, and all that Redlaw has to combat them with are his Cindermaker, his waning faith, and his wits.
Oh, and a wannabe journalist called Tina “Tick” Checkley, whose ambitions may well get in the way of her morals.
It was fun transplanting the very British John Redlaw into a (to him) alien environment and seeing how he fared there. In the book, I’ve depicted the United States from an outsider’s perspective; it’s all very new and unusual to our hero. I also drew on my memories of all the times I’ve been to America, not least a few days I once spent in New York during the coldest, most bone-chillingly inhospitable weather I have ever experienced.
