Wow, er… Eastercon was over a month ago, eh?
Well, back in the land of the blogging, sorry for the gap. My main excuse is that I've been too busy writing to update here. Seriously, it has been quite crazy. I've had a buttload (1) of short story opportunities to follow up, some of which gave me rather more […]
So EightConSquared, a.k.a. Eastercon 2013, is on the horizon, and I finally know what I'm doing at it, so for those who are coming (or thinking of it) the programme can be found by following the links here. For me, my contribution can be measured thusly:
Friday 29th at 7-8pm is the fantasy Genre Get-Together which is […]
Firstly, regarding the advent of the Great Aethernet Adventure, if you hop over to its site you can see fellow author Ian Whates getting a grilling.
Also, the regular paperback sized Air War is out and to mark it, my usual blogging has been somewhat diverted to the Tor UK site. Therefore, there's a double dose of bloggery […]
Quick post to say that I'm now confirmed for Edge Lit at the Derby Quad on 13th July 2013 for those that fancy it. It's a very pleasant, quite varied, small-scale literary event, and there are usually a decent crop of writers there.
Also, in the lead-up to the release of the paperback (or anyways smaller paperback) of […]
Although the Elder Scrolls Online trailer has given me sufficient food for thought for a second stab at the MMO genre, I'm still weighing the wisdom of taking up arms against that particular sea of troubles. However, I did want to set out the various conventions and other shenanigans I'm down for this year, in case anyone […]
I appear to have got involved with some sort of devious meme called the Next Big Thing, and have been tagged by the redoubtable Tom Lloyd in his post here. So conjured, I can but obey. And, because I am always on the look out for opportunities to give away snackies, my Next Big Thing what I wrote […]
So: thank you to everyone who came to get books signed at Thought Bubble in Leeds, which put a pleasant debt in Travelling Man's stock if nothing else. Other results of my visit there:
Quest to meet Kate Beaton: failed! By the time my signing spot had ended she was on a panel, and some time later there was […]
So, as mentioned, I will be at Thought Bubble at Leeds, and will be on the Travelling Man stand happy to sign books, some of which will also be there in a buyable condition. Thought Bubble is taking place mostly over the weekend of 17–18 November at the New Dock Casino in Leeds, opposite the Royal Armouries […]
I think I've been a little overconned this year. I count six events, and judging by how spaced I felt on the Friday of Fantasycon that might have been too many. However, once I recovered my equilibrium, it was a good weekend, full of catching up with other writers. Friday, of course, was also the mass signing, and I'd mentioned […]
Just separating out the Fantasycon rigmarole into its own post:
OK, professional hat on first: expanded Fantasycon schedule now reads:
Friday 8pm — Mass author signing. Please come along to this. Last time I swear there were more authors than readers. Stephen Hunt and I sat there like lemons.
Saturday 29th 10-11am — Too Much Reality panel. 10am is also the launch […]
