Those of you over the other side of the Atlantic are doubtless familiar with the regular SF&F readings series at the KGB Bar in New York, and the Variety Preview Room in San Francisco. Well now Bristol has it’s very own readings series. The first one will take place on Monday and will feature Gareth L. Powell & Myfanwy Rodman. I have the honor of being asked to host it. (All of which makes it a very Welsh affair.) Full details of the guests, venue and timing are available here.

As a special treat for those of you planning to go, I’ll be heading there direct from attending the formal civic opening of our LGBT History exhibition as it starts its road trip in Bath. So you will get to see Cheryl looking all posh. You may laugh.

Fingers crossed I’ll also manage to get the thing podcast, though that does depend on the gods of electronics, the permission of the guests, and my having enough time.

The schedule for the next few months is available on the BristolCon website. It is mainly local people right now, but I’m hoping that as interest grows we’ll be able to bring in writers from further afield.
