FantasyCon 2014

This year FantasyCon, the British Fantasy Convention, is in York, next weekend in fact, and there are lots of top guests of honour and many panels and shenanigans over the three days. After a very busy Nine Worlds, I’m looking forward to a much more relaxed FantasyCon. And yet, somehow I’m now on a panelContinue reading “FantasyCon 2014”

My Nine Worlds Experience

Nine Worlds is a new and very different convention in the UK to many of its predecessors that have been around for a long time. Rather than focusing on a particular genre TV show, or medium such as comics, it covers everything. There were over 30 different tracks and I was co-running the podcast trackContinue reading “My Nine Worlds Experience”

My Panels at Nine Worlds 2014

A short list of where I’ll be during Nine Worlds in a couple of weeks time. Between 10am and 1pm on all three days I’ll be keeping an eye on the Podcasting Track which I’m co-running with an old friend, Barry Nugent, from Geek Syndicate. Barry and I go way back, almost to the dawnContinue reading “My Panels at Nine Worlds 2014”

Summer Holiday

In a few days I’ll be off on my annual summer holiday for a much needed week of rest and relaxation in the sun. It will give me a chance to catch up on my reading (see previous for my list of books I’m taking away), my sleep and to recharge the batteries because whenContinue reading “Summer Holiday”

Publishing Adventures in London

Earlier this week I had my first official trip to London as a soon to be published author. It was an intense and pretty exhausting time, but overall proved to be fascinating. On Monday morning I visited my fantastic agent, Juliet Mushens, and Sarah, her lovely assistant, at their offices for a chat about theContinue reading “Publishing Adventures in London”

December Update

Christmas is just around the corner and everything is starting to wind down at the end of the year. I’ve got a couple more weeks at work before I break up for a lovely break over the holidays, so I thought I would do a quick update. I’m still editing the novel, it’s gone throughContinue reading “December Update”

6 Things I Discovered at World Fantasy Convention 2013

1. Some panellists like to talk a bit too much. To the point where others panellists can become silent witnesses. The point being raised may be valid, but time is always limited and panellists need to be mindful of that. Personally I always like to hear a range of opinions and everyone is up thereContinue reading “6 Things I Discovered at World Fantasy Convention 2013”

My experiences at Eastercon 2012

I’ve made the title of this post specific to me on purpose as not everyone had as enjoyable time at Eastercon 2012. I missed out on some of the controversy as I was elsewhere attending other panels or I was out to dinner at one point, but I’m sure other people will go into detailContinue reading “My experiences at Eastercon 2012”
