After a couple of quiet months it is time to start convention travel again. This coming weekend I be doing production on Salon Futura #6, which should provide a nice Valentine’s present for you all on Monday. Jonathan Clements has a very appropriate article. The rest of us are rather less romantic.

The following weekend (19th) I shall be in London for Picocon. Juliet McKenna is one of their Guests of Honour, so someone from BristolCon has to be there to show support. It will be great to catch up with Juliet and their other GoHs, Kari Sperring and Paul McAuley. I’ll be in London on the Friday night, but I have to be on a train home on Saturday evening.

And the weekend after that I shall be in Cardiff on the Saturday for their inaugural comic expo. Paul Cornell will be there, as will some of the BristolCon artists. I’m looking forward to meeting Steve Upham as he has provided the cover for Salon Futura #6. I’m dragging John Meaney along to see what all this comic stuff is all about. And my pal Barry Nugent of Geek Syndicate will be launching his first graphic novel, which should be cause for celebration.

I will, of course, have copies of Dark Spires available at both these events, should you wish to avail yourself of the special convention discount rate.
