Look at this! Isn’t it lovely! Sorry, but I’m unduly enthusiastic about my new website, brought to you by the technical expertise of M-the-Ubergeek, plus some tweaking from yours truly. Actually the content is, at the moment, remarkably similar to the old site, though hopefully with less typos and more consistent fonts. However, over the […]
In with the new …

Tis the season…
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 24 December 2013 0
In what may be one of the last posts on this blog (gasp!) I’d like to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Before you panic (what, you weren’t panicking? ooh-kay), this isn’t because I’m off to join a nunnery or bike across Asia. It’s because jainefenn.com is about to […]
Changes on the way…
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 16 December 2013 0
Over the next few weeks, this website will be getting a revamp. It won’t all happen at once – although there may be a moment of mild shock and confusion between Xmas and New Year, which I’m sure we’ll all deal with – but for now, there have been updates to the ‘Short Stories‘ page, […]
The Seasonal Embarrassment
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 8 December 2013 0
I always feel awkward writing posts like this. Christmas itself can bring embarrassments enough of its own, but the season I’m referring to is actually awards season. Nebulas, BSFA, Goodreads, you know, that lot. I’m particularly embarrassed about doing this in 2013, as it has been a year which has produced some stunning SFF fiction. […]
Review: Ancillary Justice
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 22 November 2013 2
Back in early October I mentioned a book review which, though I didn’t name names at the time, was for Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice – but look, weeks have gone by and it hasn’t appeared here yet. Anyway, finally, here’s what I thought of one of the most talked-about SF books of the year: Not […]
Going back to the city, and some reminders
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 18 November 2013 0
Although World Fantasy Con already seems far in the past, one of the highlights for me was the launch of The Alchemy Book of Urban Mythic, in which my story exploring some of the weirdness that may lurk under the streets of London, ‘Not the Territory’, shares the bill with such marvelous writers as Mike […]
Book Give-away!
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 15 November 2013 0
Hot on the heels of my recent interview for Upcoming4.Me they’re doing a give-away of Queen of Nowhere. It runs until 20th November and is open to Everyone In The World.
Interviews! Two of Them!
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 11 November 2013 0
Rinn, of Rinn Reads, has been kind enough to interview me for her blog. And run a giveaway too, in which you can win a copy of Downside Girls. And in the same week, I’m delighted that journalist Louise MacGregor has included me in her Interesting People Project.
Upcoming Appearances #3 – Novacon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 6 November 2013 0
The World Fantasy Convention was good, and as I paced myself a little better than normal, was not completely exhausting. It was nice to be back in a (rather windy) Brighton. Last in my current convention marathon is Novacon, this weekend in Nottingham. I’m on two programme items there: Saturday 4.30pm: ‘SF Characters in Search […]
The Story Behind the Story
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 30 October 2013 0
Just taking a break from packing for World Fantasy Con to point anyone who is interested at UpComing4Me, the new(ish) fiction site who have been kind enough to let me go on about how I came to write Queen of Nowhere here.
