Fantasycon is done and is now in the rear view mirror. Bye bye Nottingham and next year it is going to be in Scarborough by the sea. The event was super tiring but fun, and I had a great time hanging out with friends I only get to see maybe once or twice a year.Continue reading “Post-Fantasycon and Pre-SLEDGE LIT”

Fantasycon 2015 – Nottingham
Below is a list of things that I’ll be doing in a couple of weeks at Fantasycon 2015. This year the event is being held at the East Midlands Conference Centre and Orchard Hotel in Nottingham. I’ve never been to the venue before, but it looks very new and shiny, with lots of natural lightContinue reading “Fantasycon 2015 – Nottingham”
Battlemage launch
Last week was the northern launch of Battlemage at Waterstones in Leeds, my local bookshop. It was a weird and wonderful night. Weird because I’ve gone to so many similar events in the past, sat in the audience, and listened to an author talk about their book and their world. So when I arrived andContinue reading “Battlemage launch”
My Experience at Nine Worlds 2015
This was the second year I’ve attended the Nine Worlds Geekfest in London. The event is only in its third year so it is still a relatively new event compared to some. Even so I think it is leaps and bounds ahead of others in terms of it being the most inclusive and open eventContinue reading “My Experience at Nine Worlds 2015”
Podcasting Legends
I’m giving that title to someone else, not me, namely Scott Grandison, my partner in crime on our podcast of eight years last week, Comic Book Outsiders. When we started podcasting we had a sign at comic book conventions on our table that said – Ask us about podcasting! Several times an hour, people cameContinue reading “Podcasting Legends”
Updated Appearances
I’m hoping to have some news in the next couple of weeks about events closer to the time of publication for Battlemage. However, I’m going to be appearing in a few places in the meantime in the run up to the end of September and publication date. So I’ve added details as I have themContinue reading “Updated Appearances”
Nine Worlds 2015
So, we’re still months away from the Nine Worlds Geekfest convention for 2015, which is taking place on 7-9th August in London but I’m writing about it on here for a couple of reasons. I attended the event last year, and it was a remarkable event which was eye-opening and the most inclusive event I’veContinue reading “Nine Worlds 2015”
What happened at Eastercon 2015
This was my first convention of the year and it was a relatively quiet one. Despite that, and coming home before the convention ended, I was still shattered by the end of it. A painful journey down on Friday meant I arrived late but just in time to see the last half of the openingContinue reading “What happened at Eastercon 2015”
Eastercon – Dysprosium
This bank holiday weekend I’ll be at Eastercon or, Dysprosium, as it is called this year, the 66th annual event where SFF fans gather to drink, I mean, talk about books and stuff. This year there are some exciting and interesting guests of honour that I’m looking forward to meeting, but I’m actually more excitedContinue reading “Eastercon – Dysprosium”
My Fantasycon 2014 Experience
I’m back from my first Fantasycon in York which started out on Friday with some Austin Powers style car parking. I was staying at a very central Bed and Breakfast, which was lovely, and the owners kindly gave me a parking permit for the weekend. Brilliant, I thought. I could leave my car all weekend,Continue reading “My Fantasycon 2014 Experience”
