All right, even I am having difficulty at times keeping up with all the news, so if I repeat something here, it just means you’re paying attention, well done, here’s a cookie! Soon I have to leave the glories of Alba for the um, gories? of Albany. Alas. Which means I have to figure out…

Six Sentence Sunday: Con-Eire
Thanks, Linda Parsons. It’s Six Sentence Sunday again: they’re going to be wrapping things up come January. It’s a lot of work to coordinate something that keeps growing in leaps and bounds. I’m grateful for the new readers it brought me. This week I offer a few sentences from my play Con-Eire which gives a…
Tuesday’s Overlooked A/V: Algol
Pressed for time, so I’m pointing you to a sublime blog called Strange Flowers, who has a write up of an absolutely amazing film, Algol: Tragödie der Macht (or is it Nacht? That’s what the title cards say) which is Algol: Tragedy of Power (or Night). UPDATE: James confirms that other references to the film…
Review: Hunger Games
Big thanks to the lovely Maura who’s off in London Inverness (hopefully winning an Eagle for Jennifer Wilde next month) who not only persuaded me to head out to see the film, but introduced me to the swank G Hotel, a remnant of the Celtic Tiger where some fabulous drinks in classy surroundings were to…
Women’s Day, Con-Eire & BitchBuzz
Happy International Women’s Day! A day to celebrate and a day to chastise because there’s a long way to go yet and I’m getting more than a little impatient at fighting the same battles I have fought since childhood. There has been progress, I remind myself, but there’s a long way to go until NO…
P-Con Bound

Mary and Bryan Talbot will be signing Dotter of her Father’s Eyes at Forbidden Planet and I believe Pádraig said there’d be drinks after. Looking forward to more plotting with Maura and I’m on some panels that ought to…
Tuesday’s Overlooked A/V: Thirst & Linear Obsessional Recordings
A bit of news first: my story that asks the question “what if Christopher Marlowe wrote like an Elizabethan Hunter S. Thompson?”AKA “Fear and Loathing in Deptford,” is featured at the World SF Blog. World SF is dedicated to posting links, news and original content related to science fiction, fantasy, horror and comics from around…
Know-vember: Chloë
What is more awesome than awesome? It has to be the lovely Chloë! She sent me absinthe chocolates. That would already make her more awesome than awesome, but she’s also hilarious and has adorable Maudie to help with the awesomeness, too. We finally got to meet in Derby this year at Alt.Fiction after having lots…
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: 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…
