Fantasycon Schedule

Yay! I'm off to Brighton in the morning, to Fantasycon 2012, the annual conference of the British Fantasy Society. It's always a blast, and I'm really looking forward to the con, and catching up with lots of folk!

So, my schedule

Fri 28th 2 - 3 - Bar Rouge - Fantasy Bites

Fantasy Bites: Cupcakes for Literacy. Dark-edged indulgence with the feel-good factor! All proceeds go to the National Literacy Trust which helps people across all ages improve their reading and writing skills.

I have BAKED like a manic Domestic Goddess today (and am utterly knackered, not to mention buzzing - there's nothing like a sugar high! Well, I had to do a taste test . . . or three. *looks innocent*!) If you're there tomorrow, bring your pennies (and your pounds - this is for a fab charity, after all :-D), forget the diet and indulge in a Ghoulish Delight, a Magical Margarita, and a Zombie Chow! (Pics will follow :-))

Plus, it's not just me who's BAKED, so there will be lots to tempt everyone :-D

Fri 28th - 3 pm -  Does Gender Matter.

My fellow panelists are: Ramsay Campbell, Joseph D’Lacey, Alison Littlewood, and Maura McHugh.

Fri 28th - 8 - 9 pm

Mass signing in Jenny's restaurant.

Sat 29th - 1 - 1.30 pm 
I'll be reading from The Shifting Price of Prey, and if there's any left, still punting the charity cupcakes! Come and listen, and eat baked goods!

See you there, if you're going! 

Pirate Day!!

My pirate name is:

Dread Pirate Bonney

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
