On the 9th May I will be at the Stafford Shire Hall library from 11.00am until noon. (longer if more folks turn up ;) ) The library have been superb. I spent most of my lunch time speaking to the communications department of Staffordshire Council. They are doing a full press release for the...

I have been attending the BSFA convention known at Eastercon for ten years now. The first time I attended was in Glasgow back in 2006. I was persuaded to go by an author I had met online, Deborah J Miller. I didn’t know it then but Debbie would become a good friend, who would encourage...

Seems the general press are finally taking notice that women can write SF and F and write it damn well. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/apr/12/feeding-the-hunger-female-writers-are-storming-the-male-citadels-of-sci-fi

Two reviews of Oracle up on Amazon. Very pleased with both of them. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VISS62W/?tag=brite-21

Many spoilers! This book is very clever, which is to say (in part) that it demands a fair bit of attention from the reader in order to follow what's going on and who's doing what. This isn't a bad thing: the world is rich, the politics interesting, and the author doesn't patronise the reader...

Susan Boulton's Oracle is #38 in Fantasy on Amazon UK at this moment in time. happy days.

I've just started reading Oracle, and I'm so impressed. I love Sue's voice and I love the way she opens the story. ... It was a storm of gun flashes and bright swords, broken promises and murder. It does exactly what I like in an opening: it persuades me that the writer knows exactly what...

Oracle is now available as an ebook on Amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oracle-Susa...8&qid=1427969370&sr=1-1&keywords=oracle+susan And of course as a paperback from my superb publisher. http://www.ticketyboopress.co.uk/ And a big hug and thank you to my publisher, Gary, and his mighty...

Susan has the unusual distinction of arriving into this world 200 yards from where, 37 years before, Tolkien spent time thinking about hobbits. Perhaps that explains her love for, and interest in, the genre. Married with two grown up daughters, Oracle, a gaslight Fantasy, is her first novel...

I must say, Gary, you have done my book proud with the superb cover, not to mention the wonderful editing, and endless support.

My short story "The Dance" will be published on the 28th August in RPM issue 08 - Wild Life, of the Ruthless Peoples Magazine. http://www.ruthlesspeoples.com/ Quite chuffed!

A eureka moment. Does anyone else have this happen in their writing? A single moment when you find a character or plot line that is the one element that will draw all the strands of the story together. I have been working on an outline for a new novel. I had my main theme/plot line. I knew or...

The flash fiction story I sold earlier in the year has just been published. FlashSpec Anthology - Volume Two Now awaiting for the first reviews for the book to come in. Gulp!

I am at present 4/5ths done with the first draft of my latest effort. Unlike my other attempts I am using a real time and places as the backdrop for my story. Certain events did happen, certain places did and some still do exist. Other elements are totally fictional. Out of this has come a...
