17.Jul.05 Lucy has a new book coming out! It is called "A Tour Guide to Utopia" and was launched by Neil Gaiman at Contiuum. It is a collection of Lucy's best stories from the past fifteen years.  Published by MirrorDanse Editions.

From the Afterword: A Tour Guide in Utopia selects stories from the 1990s to the new Noughties, all more or less written in the fantastic mode. Looking at them I can see a different me at work, and no doubt there are things I would do differently now. I can see reflections of landscape, personally experienced, also fragments of the autobiographical.

I have said elsewhere that I write because I get a buzz out of chasing words down a page-otherwise, why bother? And if I communicate that buzz to someone else, all the better."
