Although Hidden Sun came out with little fanfare, due mainly to my house move getting in the way, I was determined that Broken Shadow, the second Shadowlands book, would get a proper launch. The official launch party will be on Saturday 13th April, from 5:30 to 7:30, at Books on the Hill in Clevedon, near […]

Review – Resonance and Revolt
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 12 November 2018 0
This collection of short stories draws you into a liminal world where reality is both sensual and porous, inhabited by principled people who love life and hate injustice. The stories cover several centuries, from the medieval period to the near future and often shed light on little-known histories through the characters present at the time, […]
FantasyCon and BristolCon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 14 October 2018 0
Conventions are like buses. Nothing for months then – hey! – two in a row. I’m at both FantasyCon and BristolCon this year, though quite lightly programmed. At FantasyCon, on Saturday 20th October I’ll be doing a reading and appearing on a panel on writing for video-games, at 5pm and 7pm respectively (probably – exact […]
Hidden Sun is out in the world
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 5 September 2018 0
With the exception of my first novel (Principles of Angels), Hidden Sun is the book that has taken the longest time to go from ‘what if’ to published novel. This is partly because it brings together a lot of stuff which has been bubbling away under the surface, including long-term obsessions and a pleasant early […]
Hidden Sun – cover reveal
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 5 July 2018 0
Less than two months until Hidden Sun is out, and I’m getting excited! As things hot up (metaphorically; it’s quite hot enough in the real world right now), I bring you Angry Robot’s official cover reveal.

For anyone who’s going to Follycon, here’s where I’ll be, and when: Friday 5.30pm – Newcon Press Launch Party in the Drawing Room, with Ian Whates and several oner Newcon authors. There will be drinks. And maybe a reading from me as technically, one of the many Newcon titles being launched is ‘The Martian Job’. […]
Persistence Pays Off
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 9 March 2018 0
Anyone who writes, or more specifically anyone who submits their writing to be published, will be familiar with rejection. Our stories get rejected, sometimes for reasons that make sense to us, sometimes with no reason given, sometimes for reasons that perplex us. We just have to suck it up and move on to the next […]
Review – Embers of War
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 19 February 2018 0
Set in a post-war galactic civilisation, Embers of War delivers classic space opera action whilst feeling like a true 21st century novel. The Trouble Dog is a sentient warship, now decommissioned and run by a skeleton crew of misfits. The war is over and it’s a time of reconciliation and redemption so these days the […]
Recommended… and recruited.
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 6 February 2018 0
So far 2018 has seen various pleasing developments on the writing front. One of these is finding that my interplanetary heist novella, ‘The Martian Job‘ has made it onto Locus’s Recommended Reading List. Another is being accepted as a writer for the marvellously named Black Library, the fiction arm of Games Workshop. My first piece for […]
The Last Jedi – review
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 28 December 2017 8
I’ve left it a while to post this review, for two reasons. Firstly, I needed to see the film again to gather my thoughts. Secondly: here be spoilers, so I was waiting until most of those who have an interest had probably seen it. Overall, I wasn’t that impressed. This was, in part, because the […]
