I should be in Dublin with Elena and Rod today, which is just as well considering my current guest here: Barry is shy. He’s also an artist. We may have been standing next to each other at the big Rothko exhibit at the Tate Modern a few years back, both gazing in rapt awe, but…

Know-vember: Mr Tumshie
All right, it’s not his real name, but if you’re on Twitter (as so many of us are) that’s how you know him. A canny chess player, a friendly chauffeur (^_^) and blipper of tunes, Mr Tumshie keeps us all amused with his sardonic humour. But he won’t let me tell you his real name…
Know-vember: Paul Hamilton
Tuesday is usually Overlooked A/V Day, so it seems entirely appropriate to give the day over to a Know-vemberist who is also in the music world (and the only one to include an advertisement along with his responses). He’s pictured here with one of his heroes, Kevin Godley (himself on the left, God on the…
Know-vember: Jeanne Andrew
Meet the fabulous Jeanne Andrew, a most amusing and lovely woman. I met her on Twitter, part of the extended network of Scots that I have somehow found myself amongst. She’s a “stand down” comedian and budding screenwriter and writes a blog appropriately named “Funny Girl” — and she’s a lot of fun. 1. What’s…
Know-vember: Mildred
The stuff of legends! It’s Mildred, the Demon Den Mom, wrangler of the Horror in Film and Literature List and Mater Lachrimarum of the Three Mothers. Look — she’s drinking a beer that’s not the usual sex-in-a-canoe variety! Hee hee. 1. What’s the first thing you do upon waking in the morning? I have no…
Know-vember: Debi
The lovely Debi, gardener supreme, patient woman, Albacon wrangler — romance fan! Here she is brunching with me at Café Madison. I miss meals together! Come to Ireland, all right? What’s the first thing you do upon waking in the morning? When I wake up first thing, I might pick up the book at my…
Know-vember: Lovely Dundee
We’re taking a brief detour from people to get to know a city: Dundee. I haven’t been to Scotland for decades! What a delight to return. And I had never been to Dundee, so it was all a pleasant surprise to me to get to know the land of McGonagall. The Tay gives the city…
Know-vember: S. L. Johnson
Yes, it’s herself — fresh from a triumphant debut gallery show opening this past weekend, it’s the Queen of Everything and fabulous artist, S. L. Johnson. I’m not just saying that because she designed the lovely Cult of Kaity logo or the cover of the forthcoming collection, Triumph of the Carpet Beetle, or made me…
Know-vember: Todd Mason
Todd, of course, shows up here frequently whether as a fellow participant and sometime host of Friday’s Forgotten Books and the host of Tuesday’s Overlooked A/V or just as one of the regular kibitzers. He’s on the left in this picture from a family wedding. 1. What’s the first thing you do upon waking in…
Know-vember: Adele
Thanks to the lovely Adele (@hagerat) for being the first volunteer! Adele runs UnBound (your home for reviews and news on spec fic works) and has awesome skills at kickboxing and baking (a religion has been founded around her baked goods — that’s how tasty they are). And look: she’s just as cute as can…
