Edge Lit 8 (All of the Books)

A week has passed since the awesomeness that was Edge-Lit 8 in Derby. We stayed over two nights this time in the fabulous Premier Inn at Riverlights, which meant that we got to meet up with friends on the Friday night at the Quad.

The following day I attended panels, one workshop (disclaimer - my husband's) and a non-reading, spent time in The Quad bar chatting with friends, went out for a meal with some of said friends, and attended the launch of the anthology The Woods, featuring my story 'The Iron Curve of Thorns'. I had to read. I had five minutes warning and I had to read. It wasn't the greatest performance in the world. It may have been the worst. I survived. I think the audience also did.

Next year, the event is two days. Yay!

Above is my book haul. I've already finished 'The Finite' and am half-way through 'The Woods'.

A Small Convention (for Small People)

It's Edge-Lit 8 weekend and we are, as I type, on our way to sunny Derby. Please be sunny, Derby. As I type is a wee lie as I'm actually typing this the day before in the dis-comfort of my office chair at work. Shush! Don't tell the boss.

 

 

It's going to be a busy weekend (for some - small husband in particular).

 

Here's my schedule (it is also small):

 

 

 

16:00 Cinema One - Multi Publisher Launch

 

Hersham Horror is releasing THE WOODS an anthology containing stories by me, Phil Sloman, Penny Jones, James Everington and Mark West. Also released in the same slot are A LOVE LIKE BLOOD by Simon Bestwick (small husband), which is published by Dark Minds Press, and Cannibal Nuns from Outer Space by Duncan P. Bradshaw, published by Sinister Horror Company.

 

My story is 'The Iron Curve of Thorns'.

 

I'm led to believe that wine and nibbles with be available. I actually fancy a Pina Colada, but that's another story, one that usually involves virgins.

 

 



Into The Woods with Hersham Horror

I am delighted to announce that my story, The Iron Curve of Thorns, will be appearing in The Woods, an anthology from Hersham Horror. The anthology also includes stories by James Everington, Mark West, Penny Jones and Phil Sloman (who is also the editor of this awesome little book) and is volume 6 in the PentAnth series.


The paperback anthology will be released at Edge-Lit in Derby on 13th July 2019. The kindle edition is already available from Amazon.
