I’ve seen two reviews of Guardians of Paradise these week, one positive, this one less so. I thought I’d link to both, in the interests of balance. Meanwhile, I’m so near the end of Bringer of Light I can smell victory. Or rather, leisure time. Just gotta hold my nerve…

If I lived up North …

I’d go to this. I might anyway, but in my current deadline-ridden state next March is a little too far ahead to be planning.
Proof of Life

Gollancz have now put a fine selection of photos from last week’s party on their Facebook page, just here. I took far too much pleasure in responding to compliments about my fangs by trying to look innocent and saying ,’What fangs?’ Not that it was easy to look innocent in that costume. Ming was the […]
Deathmarch latest
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 18 October 2010 0
I’m glad to say I’ve now rewritten that unsatisfactory plot-thread in Bringer of Light: thirteen chapters in four weeks, ninety percent of the words being new – and hopefully improved – ones. That was hard. This merely leaves the final chapters (eleven of them, as things stand) to be reworked. From where I’m sitting, almost […]
Keep the ‘pro’ a bit ‘semi’
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 13 October 2010 2
There’s a comment in the acknowledgments of Consorts of Heaven, my second book, to the effect of me now being on the road to becoming a proper pro (yes, I know: poor choice of abbreviation). Last weekend’s convention got me thinking about this, as I’ve been attending cons as a fan for mumblety-mumph years, but […]
This weekend, I will mainly be … Sir Terry Pratchett
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 8 October 2010 2
Actually, that’s a lie. There is only one Sir Terry, and he’s a national treasure, gawd bless ‘im. However, I will be doing something he was renowned for, back when he was combining a writing career with a day-job. This weekend I’ll be at Newcon, in Northampton, where I will be giving a short reading […]
And in what passes for the real world …

If anyone is interested, you can find pictures of last Saturday’s book launch/signing/party here and here. Thanks to the photographers, and to everyone who came along. It was a hoot. In other news, the latest hardcopy issue of Sci-Fi Now (#46) has an example of me going on about one of my ‘favorite’ subjects. And, […]
A quick reminder…
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 1 October 2010 1
… that tomorrow is the launch/signing event for Guardians of Paradise at the Little Green Dragon bookshop in Alton, Hampshire from 2pm to 3pm. You can expect to find me, and sundry others, in the pub over the road after 3pm. With immaculate timing, today I sustained a bizarre tea-related injury to my right hand; […]
Don’t watch this, watch that!

Gollancz very kindly gave me a guest spot on their blog this week. You can read the result here.

A reminder that I’ll be breaking off from my rewrite marathon on Saturday week (the 2nd) to sign books at the little Green Dragon Bookshop in Alton, Hampshire (and to go to the pub afterwards). The signing runs from 2pm to 3pm, and is part of Alton Wordfest literary festival, which will actually have been […]
