Editorial – September 2025

After the embarrasment of last month, this is something of a bumper issue. Hopefully you will find plenty to read. You’ll need to, because October is completely crazy for me. There’s no way I will have time to get an issue out.

First up I am one of the featured writers at Queer Lit Quarterly in Aberystwyth. If you can make it to that, I will have books for sale. I might even read something from one of my stories, but don’t let that put you off.

I’ll be driving home from Aberystwyth on the Saturday, which means I will miss the first day of Octocon. I will, however, be attending virtually on the Sunday. I have two panels to do. Details here.

The next weekend I will be off to fetch Kayla from Heathrow, after which we will head to BristolCon. I don’t have panel assignments yet, but presumably I will be doing one or two. Also we’ll have the new Green Man book and the wonderful new Chaz Brenchley book for sale.

During the week, Kayla and I will be driving slowly to Brighton, taking in some tourist sights on the way. After that it is World Fantasy where there will be a launch party.

Throughout all of this I will be busy running a Kickstarter campaign. There’s more about that elsewhere in the issue.

And somehow I have to manage to do my contracted hours of day job in amongst all that.
