Don't forget I, witha lot of other remarkable people, am at Derby Quad this Saturday for Other Worlds .

Also the Leeds SFF thing next year that I mentioned has now called itself ConJour, and other guests include Mike Carey, Kate Griffin, Mark Charan Newton, Justina Robson, Adrian Tchaikovsky and Freda Warrington.

Yes, yes, I pasted that in from the event Facebucket page. I am not going along to meet my doppelgänger or anything (1)

(1) or, if you're a hardline D&D enthusiast, Doppleganger, for no obvious reason, unless it's that the sound they makes shifts in pitch as they approach you, which would be rubbish for a creature entirely based around disguising itself as something else.
