For Ian's new book, The Longest Crawl, click here...

There are lots of things to do on my website. And even a few new ones.

You can, for example, read an introduction to, and an extract from, each of my books.

There is also a link to Amazon for each title, should you feel that one of my books would make a suitable gift for someone close, and that you wished to buy them a copy.

You can read one of my short stories. Or all of them, consecutively. Returners to the site might wish to avoid this area, as nothing has changed within living memory, but new visitors should hurry right on in.

You can download photographs of me, if that’s your bag.

There is a downloadable MP3, so that you can hear my pop group do some music. This now works.

There are links to other websites which might be of interest, including one where my friend Paul Williams has posted all of his photographs for ‘Parallel Lines’.

There are also two guest slots.

The most popular search term on the internet is me. People look themselves up. I’m not the only Ian Marchant; far from it. But I am the only one whose contact e-mail address is ian@ianmarchant.com. Other Ian Marchants, with less business acumen and cutting edge media savvy than I, have e-corresponded with me, expressing their regret that they hadn’t thought of registering themselves as a dotcom. More fool they, you might think. And you might be right. But I think it only fair they have their day in the sun. If any other Ian Marchants would like to appear here, please feel free to send something.

Also, I have devoted a small section of my website to my old comrade-in-arms, Britain’s best loved poet, Hilary Spume FRSL. Readers will be familiar, I’m sure, with his poem concrete, Centre Point (1971), and also with his award-winning collection, “On The Opening of The Scunthorpe Power Station” (1977), and will be eagerly anticipating his forthcoming ‘Mumbles’ (2009). What is less well known, perhaps, is that Spume is an enthusiastic Silver Surfer who derives enormous pleasure from the internet. His updated daily blog is now accesible through the Spume page. Yes, that’s right; daily.

Well, not daily, obviously, but frequently.

It gives us great pleasure here at www.ianmarchant.com that you have chosen to spend some time with us.
