Last night I was at Forbidden Planet in Bristol for the launch of Pete Newman’s debut novel, The Vagrant. As you should know, Pete is the husband of Emma Newman, and half of the team that makes the hilarious (and Hugo-nominated) Tea & Jeopardy podcast. Emma came long to provide support. It was lovely to see her looking well after all she’s been through over the past year.

If you’d like to hear part of The Vagrant, there’s a podcast of the first two chapters from BristolCon Fringe available here (along with the first two chapters of Emma’s forthcoming Planetfall). In addition I will have Pete on Women’s Outlook on Ujima next Wednesday. We’ll be talking about the baby, and the goat, and I’ll see if I can coax a few words out of his alter-ego, Latimer.
