I remember @cherylmorgan.bsky.social had some recommendations at the Bristolcon panel on genre and gender last weekend, tagging her as I only recall Charlie Jane Anders.

Having deep regret of not buying the beautiful copy of Sword of Bronze and Ashes by @annasmithspark.bsky.social on day one of Bristolcon, because it wasn't there on day two... 😭

My blog from BristolCon, which seems to be mostly about David Cartwright and J.E. Hannaford, but I'm sure I'm in there somewhere too.

BristolCon 2025
I have a long-standing tradition of missing the first panel at BristolCon, even, sadly, the time I was listed to be on it. Usually it’s because of delayed trains from Southampton on a Saturday morn…

I am now officially recovered from #BristolCon and who is now up for #WorldFantasyCon @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social ?
I am running a panel on the Occult and Supernatural, and giving a reading with @poopraven.bsky.social and meeting all sorts of disreputable folks...
and selling books #booksky

Oh, there's picture proof of me surviving a panel on #SPFBO at #BristolCon!
The wonderful guest of honor
@hannafordjenny.bsky.social moderating, @tomunro.bsky.social and @patricksamphire.bsky.social jumping in at the very last minute!
The whiskey definitely helped with smoothing nerves...

Well another @bristolcon.bsky.social has been an utter blast, even if it was a bit smaller than usual.
So many books, so many drinks, so many amazing people, old and new friends and just so much fun!
Tomorrow it is off to Brighton, to another long Convention weekend!

Oof, this has been a DAY for multiple reasons - but it was so nice to remember when I first woke up that hey, we have leftover apple pie in the fridge! (I baked it yesterday to celebrate @patricksamphire.bsky.social coming back from BristolCon.)
Keeping with my messy-but-yummy baking aesthetic! ;)

While I decided to give it a rest this year, I'm so glad people have been having a great time at this year's BristolCon. Chance managed to put in my way the means of an early bird booking. So hope to see most of you next year!

I spent a vast amount of BristolCon talking about tentacles and making sure everyone knew about Summer Hikaru Died and Galaxy of Terror!

A rather fine present from #Bristolcon. It's a model of the Andy Bigwood Speedbird in its landing dock
Now we have to get it home

I had an early start today (I was driving down to Bristol for #Bristolcon) but thanks to One Weird Trick my body clock is less bothered by it than it would have been any other day of the year.

My copy of Songs of Seven Dials by @tricksterprince.bsky.social arrived while I was away at Bristolcon. Perfect timing for research for my current novel. It looks fantastic.

We were the last dealer out of the room at #BristolCon
For logistical reasons, everything had to go up to our room tonight and we will move it and our personal luggage down to the car when we check out tomorrow morning.

Status report, "OK, What Do I Do With This" dep't: Chatting with Linda Stratmann at #BristolCon. Told her how I'd misread the title of one of her books (*Sherlock Holmes and the Persian Slipper*) as "Sherlock Holmes and the Persian Stripper." (snerk) a COMPLETELY different case. 😏 Oh gods...

Thinking about a question @joelcornah.bsky.social just asked in the Genders panel at BristolCon and how you'd engage with a drastically different gender culture that's not based in sexual reproduction or sex characteristics and I think a symbiosis between multiple species could be cool

The bit I decided on went down well at Bristolcon, so that's a lock for World Fantasy Con 😊
Contemplating what passage I might read from The Green Man's Holiday, to entertain the fine folk attending #Bristolcon, and at the #WorldFantasyConvention2025.
I need something without spoilers, giving a good sense of Dan's personality and what he's up against.
Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Spent the first day of #BristolCon lamenting my missing emergency cookies, and first thing in day two I found them on the Book Swap table, where they must have fallen out and confused potential swappers. (Really should have checked there!)

The Sunday look for #BristolCon. Sensible trainers today. Still happy! Will be at the Wizards Tower Press table most of the day except for my 2 PM panel about AI and copyright.
