Colin Harvey Memorial Anthology

Roz Clarke, Rick Novy and I have put together an anthology in memory of our friend Colin Harvey, who was taken from us too soon in August 2011 following a stroke.

LATEST NEWS

Colinthology was launched at BristolCon as part of the “Ghost of Honour” programme item hosted by Marc Gascoigne of Angry Robot.  There were readings from Colin’s work and the anthology, and a showing of Sam Lemberg’s short film “Chameleon”, based on one of Colin’s short stories.  We also showed a short video of Gareth L Powell interviewing Colin for TTA press – I’m going to ask Gareth if I can post that video here.  The book is available on CD via the “Talk to Me” link (limited quantities), and also from the Wizard’s Tower website, at a cost of £2.99.  All profits from the book with be passed on via the BristolCon Foundation to Above and Beyond, the charity Colin was working for when he died.

We are also considering doing a Kickstarter for a print run of the anthology after BristolCon, if we have enough interest and subject to negotiation, but our first priority is to raise some money for Above and Beyond.

ABOVE AND BEYOND MISSION STATEMENT

Above & Beyond is the local charity that raises funds for all Bristol’s nine central hospitals.  Each year, we invest some £3 million in projects that make a real difference to patients in our city.   We fundraise to improve the hospital environment, fund innovative research, support and train hospital staff and provide state of the art equipment.    Working with inspirational local people, we aim to make a difference to every patient and every condition.  When patients, their families and friends want to say thank you for the care they’ve received at the hospitals, they come to us.
