It’s BristolCon soon (Saturday 22nd to be precise), and they’re packing loads of good stuff into one day. Bits I’ll be helping pack include: Midday: Cover Art (with Paul Cornell, Jim Burns, Joanne Hall, Dolly Garland & Steve Upham) – We’re always being told not to judge a book by its cover, but that’s usually […]

Dear spammers …

I can sort of understand the logic of trying to post generic, barely literate ‘comments’ here in the hope that I’m dumb enough to link to a random website flogging tech-toys but … flowers from Germany, hampers from the US, and perfume from India? Boy, have you missed your demographic. And as for the short, […]
FantasyCon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 28 September 2011 0
I’ve got a pretty light schedule at this weekend’s FantasyCon: I’ll be participating in the mass signing at 8pm on Friday (probably whilst wearing a corset – feel free to wear one yourself if you’re coming along) and doing a reading from Bringer of Light at 5pm in Room 134 (not, you’ll be glad to […]
What Jaine did on her holidays
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 23 September 2011 1
Wrote, mainly. However, I made sure the cottage I booked for our week in the Yorkshire Dales also fulfilled the two main holiday requirements on my checklist, to whit, easy access to: scenery (we were right in the middle of it) and a pub (the cottage was attached to one … and there was another […]

Despite some intrusive interruptions from Real Life™ I’m finally getting into the rewrite of Queen of Nowhere. As this means trying to think like a paranoid genius geek with sociopathic tendencies who is out to save humanity whether they want saving or not, I hope you’ll forgive my more sporadic than usual posts to this […]
Better late than never
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 1 September 2011 0
I’m in the last few days of (semi) holiday before I get stuck into round one of the rewrites for Queen of Nowhere. Between bouts of (currently quite time-consuming) day-job, I’ve still got a short story to finish, and some new novel pitches to hone. On the domestic front, the household’s boiler has developed a […]

Living in the Future
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 10 August 2011 3
Back in my youth, I read a lot of cyberpunk. Arguably too much, but I was at an impressionable age and got taken in by all the glitz and edginess. Technology had never been so sexy: urban decay had never been so fascinating. A lot of that future has come true. Cyberspace is ubiquitous, even […]
