I’m at the Brighton Comic Con this Saturday 14th June

I’ll be selling and signing m’books at the Brighton Comic Con this Saturday 14th June at the Amex Stadium. They’ve got some great guests, including one Brian Blessed, who I’ve not seen since he opened Waterstones in Epsom. As the staff prepared to have our photo taken with him for the local paper, he shouted ‘KNICKERS!’ in that voice and we all cracked up. If anyone should every come across that pic, do please send me a copy.

Anyhoo, if you’re in the Brighton area this Saturday, do pop in and say hi!

Jake Lamar Makes Words Sing

As if getting notes from an editor wasn’t stressful enough, this week’s podcast guest Jake Lamar recounts a time when he got his edit notes while recovering from a heart operation in an intensive care unit. He tells me that during recovery he found that writing was ‘Even more of a solace.’ And he’s right. Even as I’m typing this I’ve just had some notes come through on a project, and while it make me groan and think, ‘Here we go again…’ this thing we do is still better than spending a fortune commuting on a delayed train to an office that’s designed to grind me into submission. So I’ll take these notes on the chin and get on with it. It’s a privilege that I’m all too aware of.

We discuss all sorts in this week’s episode, including jazz, making your writing sing, and I recount that time I was in a minibus from London to Manchester with Joe Hill, Joe Abercrombie, Joanne Harris, Brandon Sanderson and more…
