Write The Fight Right
“The best way for a writer to learn what’s really involved in brawling, short of going down the pub and starting something.”
Don’t worry. You’re at the all new website of The Word.
I’ve spent considerable time recently putting this new site together, so I hope it appeals to you all. However, I couldn’t have done it without the considerably more time put in by my good friend James Frost. Thanks Jim!
Please be sure to let me know what you think, in comments or emails.
Welcome to the website of author Alan Baxter.
I write dark fantasy, sci fi and horror, ride a motorcycle and love my dog. I also teach Kung Fu, hence the Warrior Scribe tag above. A friend once referred to me that way and I liked it, so it stuck. Learn all about me and my work by clicking About Alan just below the header.
Our world is built on language and storytelling. Without stories, we are nothing.
The Word is a place to learn more about me, my stories and the words of others. Click the links along the top for all kinds of stuff, search the sidebars for loads of other stuff, click on book covers for reviews and previews, enjoy the blog and don't be shy to share your words, in comments or send me an email:

Looking good, Alan.
I owe you an apology too. You asked for my help and I was so deep in my editing that it completely slipped my mind…until right now. I didn’t ignore you. I’m so sorry.
No probs mate. Glad to help.
Now, will you leave me in peace for a few weeks – I’ve got my ‘real work’ to take care of!
Karen – no worries, I go there in the end.
James – ‘real work’? Pah! I’ve got this idea for a website…
Yeah, me too. I just don’t have time to work on it because I’m too busy fixing yours!
Sounds like Karen’s keen to help you though….
passes buck to Karen.
