It's going to happen one day: there will be a big budget CGI film made that uses Van Gogh's paintings, no doubt with the artist himself being brought to life on screen. Then a little way down the line there'll be 3D hologram projections, where we can enter the world of Van Gogh, perhaps in the Arles of 1888, and interact with the artist and the townspeople. And, who knows, maybe even have our own portrait painted in the man's vividly explosive style. Until that does happen, however, here's a short film using a morphing computer program to animate Van Gogh's self portraits.

My previous book to THE MIDNIGHT MAN is LUCIFER'S ARK, a horror-thriller set aboard a ship that carries psychopathic criminals to a foreign jail. Writer's work hard to create an entertaining story, but we only know whether we've succeeded when people read the book, we get feed-back, or we see the reviews. A writer's heart always beats that bit faster when we begin to read the review; will it be butchery job or will it praise. Recently, I got this one from BookList, and it is one to warm the cockles of an author's heart!
The trade paperback of LUCIFER'S ARK is released this summer.
Until next time,
Simon
