Appearances, conventions and other strange creatures

[Ian Whates]

About time I sought to inform any interested parties (well, there might be one or two) on the Chrons where they can come to heckle me and throw peanuts etc.

To kick things off, I'm talking in Birmingham this Friday evening (November 4th) about writing and publishing science fiction in the current economic climate.

Would be good to see any Chronites there who can make it.

I'm going to be at Novacon 41 in Nottingham over this weekend (11th - 13th November). http://novacon.org.uk/

The wonderful John Meaney is Guest of Honour, Kim Lakin-Smith will be coming along to sign copies of her brilliant new novel Cyber Circus, I'll be doing panels, selling books, socialising, and drinking the odd pint or two... If anyone in the area fancies popping along, it would be great to see you.

Short notice, I know (must get better organised...), but I will be panel-ising at this year's Picocon in London today, with Pat Cadigan and Juliet E McKenna, if anyone fancies suffering, ehm, I mean benefiting from, our combined insight and wisdom... Oh, and apparently the likes of Richard Morgan, Peter F Hamilton, Jaine Fenn, Steph Swainston, Kate Griffin, Kari Sperring, Mike Shevdon, and Sarah Ash will also be taking part.
