About the Author
Adrian Tchaikovsky was born Adrian Czajkowski in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, before heading off to Reading University to study psychology and zoology. This served as natural preparation for a career in law, and he has worked for several firms in the field of civil litigation, both in Reading and now in Leeds. Married, he is a keen gamer, including tabletop, online and live-action. He has trained in stage fighting, and is currently a member of a Leeds-based chapter of a KDF/European Historical Combat Guild group practising western historical martial arts. He is best known for his fantasy series, Shadows of the Apt, and keeps a blog at www.shadowsoftheapt.com where many more stories set in that world can be found.

“The Fall of Lady Sealight” in Dark Currents (April 2012)
A dazzling blend of science fiction, fantasy, dark fantasy and horror: a set of stories that traverses genre boundaries, linked only by their common inspiration. Contributors were given just those two words: ‘Dark Currents’ and then asked to let their imaginations run wild…

IMAGININGS
The Way Ahead
A series of collections, each volume featuring the work of a single selected author, Imaginings brings together the very best of that author’s previously published but uncollected short fiction plus pieces wholly original to the book.
Each volume is released as a signed and numbered hardback edition, strictly limited in number, plus an e-book version. There is no paperback edition.
The hardback editions are available to buy via the NewCon Press website, priced at £19.99.
Or… Imaginings can be purchased via subscription.
The advantages?
Reduced price. Four volumes: £74.00, inclusive of shipping within the UK (reduced shipping costs for overseas subscribers).
Subscribers ‘buy’ a number within the limited edition run, which remains theirs exclusively until subscription lapses, at which point it will become available to others.
In addition to the numbered hardback, subscribers receive a free copy of the e-book (kindle and e-pub).
Subscribers are guaranteed a copy of a very limited book likely to sell out rapidly and become highly collectable.
Volume 1, January 2012: Tanith Lee
Volume 2, April 2012: Stephen Baxter
Volume 3, September 2012: Tony Ballantyne
Volume 4, December 2012: Lisa Tuttle
Volume 5, April 2013: Nina Allan
Volume 6, August 2013: Adrian Tchaikovsky
Volume 7, October 2013: Steve Rasnic Tem
