It is convention time again. Tomorrow I will be in Oxford for the The Write Fantastic’s annual get-together. There is a fabulous line-up of guests including Jon Courtenay Grimwood, Pat Cadigan, Mary Hoffman, Stan Nicholls, Anne Gay, Ben Jeapes, Mike Shevdon, Ian Watson, Sarah Ash, Juliet E Mckenna, Kari Sperring, Freda Warrington, Liz Williams and Ian Whates. I hope to see some of you there.

I note also that I am not at BayCon, or Wiscon, because I can’t travel to the USA, and I’m not at Imaginales because I can’t afford it even though Europe is still willing to let me in. But Oxford is lovely, and much cheaper.
