My pals at the North Bristol Writers Group are into the final week of their crowdfunding campaign for the North by Southwest anthology. They need less than £200 to get fully funded, so do please consider backing the campaign. There will be stories by Roz Clarke, Kevlin Henney, Ian Milllsted, Pete Sutton, Justin Newland and Desiree Fischer, all of whom you may have heard on BristolCon Fringe podcasts. There will be art by Claire Hutt. And in particular there will be a new steam-powered programmable war elephants story by John Hawkes-Reed.

The ebook is only a fiver, and remember, after January 1st it won’t be possible for EU-based companies to use crowdfunding with digital rewards because of the cost of VAT compliance. Get this while you can.
