So just a quick update to say Traum is finished! Just need to do some final touches and we'll look at getting this thing out. That also means i'll be having a lot more time to write other stuff so watch this space for short stories in the near future.

Well hello good people, I've been dead a long time and not in a Freddy Krueger way, i've just been busy. I took a break from new material a while ago to re-direct my attention to Traum. If you're unaware of this phenomenon (i wish,) it's the first proper novel i wrote and my proudest work to date. Yet there were countless improvements to be made, which inevitably rendered a whole re-drafting of the work. I have just hit 40,000 words in the new draft, which is about 200 pages in a book. Funnily enough this was the entire length of the first draft and i haven't finished the 2nd of 3 parts yet. Anyway, i'm being hopeful and aiming for a release of Friday the 13th of December but this will definitely require a lot of work. I want to replace the digital versions online with the new gem as well as making it available in print. So don't fear, i'm still alive and still writing. I'm very much looking forward to being able to bring you Traum in all its glory very soon. I hope you will all enjoy it too, Martin Hyde Have a story lying there that you think isn't good enough? Give it a go. Everybody loves horror but hey, whatever genre, email me at [email protected] I'll either post it on here and put a link to your website or blog or review it. Watch this space for new content, Martin Hyde Traum was selected for iwritereadrate's first monthly competition and won the prize- a mini-critique from Cornerstone's literary consultancy. Traum is available either in the 'Free Stories' section of this page or by going to iwritereadrate.com and checking it out there. The last part of my short story 'Lost' should be up either late tomorrow or early saturday. Bare in mind time zone's do differ. Martin Hyde Well hey there, been a while. Just got a quick update on new stuff that'll be coming out in the coming weeks. First of all i've been working on a new short story, although it isn't my usual few pages, what is more commonly referred to as flash fiction. Maybe a bit longer but the concept is generally one incident or event. The one i'm working on at the moment is gonna be a bit longer and so i'm going to break it down into episodes and release one a week starting this friday (hopefully). It looks like there's going to be about five episodes each of roughly the same length as my other stories and then i'll look at releasing the whole thing on an ebook website for free. After that i'm not sure what will happen, 'Traum' is in desperate need of editing and possibly re-writing parts of it, expanding it e.t.c. i'm also working on the story for which 'the death of Claire Seymour' was the opening and another drama book which might take a while but is looking very strong plot-wise. Lastly i want to start doing movie reviews (obviously horror, well mostly) i'm thinking every tuesday, which means as well as spreading out content would mean i could watch the movies at the weekends after putting out the stories. Recommendations will be massively considered, horror, thriller, action, comedy are all welcome but if i'm asked to review twilight i may come find you and kill you... Slowly.... and painfully.... Anyway that's that, peace, Martin Hyde So yeah unfortunately i shall be taking a break from short stories (hopefully not too long a break) to work on my other ongoing projects which i shall put up in time.
All the best Martin Hyde Alright so what i'm gonna try is releasing new content every friday all for free of course. Good old horror to help you sleep. As always it's awesome if people like on facebook or follow on twitter so that i know if people are actually reading my stuff. The more fans, the harder i will work to please them. Simples (meercat sound). I'm also trying out the blog element so hopefully people can give feedback much easier.
