In praise of my alpha reader, the friend who has read every draft of every scene of every novel I've started since 2003 — and how his advice is changing my approach to the trip I'm about to take for the #WorldFantasyConvention in the UK.

Happy Graphic Time for #WorldFantasyConvention! I decided to call mine "Emily loves you!"

Because I do.

Sprinting to the end of this manuscript before I travel for the #WorldFantasyConvention. A blog post about my current process and product.

World Fantasy Convention returns to Brighton after 10+ years of exile, bringing awards ceremonies, moon spiders, and the promise of chips by a properly Gothic seafront. Like pre-Christmas for lovers of gothic sci-fi horror fantasy - both World Fantasy and British Fantasy Awards under one haunted roof. https://l.d20.ninja/4xvb6cn6 #worldFantasyConvention

I'm now free to announce that at World Fantasy Convention in Brighton, UK, I'll be on two panels.
Feminism and Feminist Themes in Genre Fiction.
Older People in Fantasy and Horror.
Both subjects near and dear to me, so I'm thrilled.

After yesterday's excitement*, it was kind of nice to embrace my solitary life again, with lapping cat and freshly baked bread.

*Lisa sending me a photo someone at the World Fantasy Convention had taken of our book of illustrated stories & poems almost rubbing spines with two Pratchett books.

The Secret to the Art of Leadership

The first step of being a leader is recognizing that it’s not all about you.

In my experience, leadership arises from real connections. Ultimately, leaders are willing to put themselves out into the world, risking their egos and limited free time to build connections.
