Awards Season

Thanks for all your patience while I try to put a difficult year behind me (for those unaware, we lost my father in September after a lengthy illness). Despite all of that, I did manage to put out two new columns in 2023, so if you’re nominating in any of this season’s awards, please consider them for the following categories:

Non-Fiction (Long Form)
Noise & Sparks column (Shoreline of Infinity)

Non-Fiction (Short Form)
Four Queens and a Stone on a Hill (Shoreline of Infinity #34)
Letter to a Future Architect (Shoreline of Infinity #36)

You can pick up both issues now from the Shoreline of Infinity shop at the link below. Thank you!

The cards have been sent, the gifts are all wrapped, and this afternoon I go into Newcastle for my annual Christmas whiskey-drinking session with a local pal. In other words, this is the perfect moment to reflect on the past year.
