Welcome to Moorcock's Miscellany, so-called (1) because I reprint from time to time articles which interest me and (2) because it contains discussion and information about my work. In the Q&A forum, I discuss my own work and pretty much every other subject with readers. I'm sorry that it's impossible for me to carry on long email correspondence with readers, but I can be contacted via the Q&A forum if you are trying to contact me for a specific reason. Many answers to general questions can be found in the FAQ. Pictures of books, magazines which I have edited, foreign editions and so on can also be found in the Image Hive. If you have rare material to share for this, it will be welcome! You can get additional information about my work in the Wikiverse. Information about forthcoming books, short stories, graphic novels, movies, games or features, as well as book signings and so on can usually be found in the the Q&A forum of this site. From time to time, either to support various charities or to support this site, we run auctions, usually of scarcer books and other material by me. Please note that I'm not in a position to read unsolicited manuscripts, books or proof copies and if they are sent to me, they won't be read. I'm sorry about this but the amount of unsolicited work sent to me for comment, testimonials and so on has become impossible to handle. If you wish to contact me professionally from anywhere in the world, learn how by visiting the Contact Policy page. Michael Moorcock, 1st April 2009

Thanks, pards. Your good vibes are definitely doing the trick, I think. I'm still under observation -- my next appt. w. ID guy and Wound Care doc are the day before we're due to leave for London, though we'll only be gone for a week (God willing!) to see my family and to do the British Library. The wound itself is now tiny and having to be kept open, believe it or not, so that it can heal from the inside out. When I finish the current course of antibiotics, I'll have some idea about whether the bone's infected. I suspect it isn't, but I don't really want to tempt Fate, either. I've had too many things go wrong over the past two and a half years. Forum discussion thread

We have been disappointed so many times over the past two years in particular and have disappointed all the people involved -- even house-sitters who hoped to schedule some time in Texas -- that I'm wary of saying anything for certain. I learned today that I won't be able to attend the Science Museum gig on the 24th and Linda is reminding me not to take on too much anyway, but to save myself for my family and for the British Library event. We're still trying to find a good cat sitter for the week or so we'll be gone! Poor Linda, who is doing all this while still trying to manage wound care, doctor appointments, travel arrangements, isn't getting a whole lot of sleep, partly because I'm in intense neuropathic pain most of the time (though I wasn't too bad last night thanks to going against my instincts and taking a lot more painkillers than usual -- at doc's suggestion). But I'm slowly getting the Elric story written by hand and I have the article for the FT to do pretty soon. Generally, I manage to stay pretty positive but, as others here know better than I, sometimes it just gets on top of you. I have to say that Betsy Mitchell and John Davey, who are doing so much good work on the Elric series -- not to mention John Picacio, Michael Kaluta and the other illustrators -- especially the final volume with its tribute to Jim Cawthorn -- are really helping, too. The Stealer of Souls is now in its fourth edition; proof that committed publishing still works. I'm proud of The Best of Michael Moorcock from Tachyon and again have John Davey along with Jeff and Ann VanderMeer to thank for that -- spare some good thoughts for Jeff and Ann who were rear-ended on their way back from holiday and their car totalled while, thankfully, they appeared to receive minor injuries. Anyway, I'm sure you have all helped me remain positive and that your generous vibes are making the wound close. At least I'll be able to shake a few hands in London (with luck) come June 29th. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get together somewhere convenient for all and have a party when all this is over ? Forum thread

This is a roller coaster ride, I'm afraid, pards. Having been told that I would definitely need a PICC line and going to the infectious disease doctor expecting to have one fitted, I'm home without one. The doctor wasn't at all sure I needed it and might be doing fine on oral anti-biotics. He hasn't seen the MRI but did say radiologists tend to call infection out of caution or 'over-reading'. which is what Linda's brother also said. My leg is not otherwise showing usual signs of infection. So, until he sees MRI and recent pictures of my foot, as well as the foot itself, he sees no reason for a PICC and if I should have one he thinks I should be able to travel. I'll no for sure next Tuesday when he checks my foot,photos and MRI. So thanks for all those prayers and good wishes, everyone. I'm convinced that's what has helped me fight the infection!!!

Ah well. Looks like my run of luck is over. Bone is infected according to MRI. A biopsy's next to confirm that. Then they'll hit me with a ton of IV antibiotics for maybe 6 weeks. Then, very likely, they'll do a BKA. There's a strong chance, however, that they'll let me come over to do the London gig, plus another gig at the Science Museum on the 24th. That will allow me to see my kids etc. then be back here while Quick Saw McGraw sets to with his handsaw and bucket of pitch. We're checking, but it looks like I won't be able to get the parrot on Medicare. I've even been advised to keep the haar haaars down as people will think I have Pig flu. And as for a Jim Hawkins, they have puritanical views, these days, involving child abuse... I call it use, but they won't go along with that. Will 'ee take me hand, Jim ? Well, what about this bit o' leg ? Forum thread
