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!

Update: Due to a family bereavement, I’m sorry to announce that I will no longer be attending Fantasycon 2023. However, the details in this blog on the Shoreline of Infinity pre-orders and the BFS Journal special issue still stand. Neil Williamson has agreed to take my reading slot on Saturday at 5pm, which’ll be well worth attending instead.

Join me at Fantasycon 2023 for some brand new fiction and hopefully more! For schedule details for Fantasycon, as well as updates on Shoreline of Infinity and the British Fantasy Society Journal special issue on Fantasy & Gaming, read on.
