Cue cards remain a vital purchase.

A copy of fantasy book Prince Ewald the Brave written by Dylan Madeley sits on a book stand. Directly at its feet is a cue card with words written on it in capital letters:

Full table setup. An impulse buy of sorts, I have immediately learned that I am better prepared for a half length setup, and I don't have so much variety of offerings as would demand a full table. Come visit me in an hour at The Parkdale Hall!

Hickory white tussock moth caterpillar. Touching this can cause skin irritation, so I suggest you leave them be.

Apropos of a thread I saw earlier with an artistic depiction of prototaxites. They vaguely reminded me of this standing stone from the Hills of Tara, but taller. live.staticflickr.com/22/35585973_...

This is a panorama vid I attempted for the benefit of people who are unfamiliar with the view. I thought the reflection of the CN Tower was a fun touch.

Dylan Madeley @dylanmadeley.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Around that time I also got a snap of this older building, the Royal Alexandra Theatre, across from which I would coincidentally get my ride home after 5pm on Sunday.

But I knew that I was facing toward Roy Thomson Hall most of the day, which helped somewhat. And some folks were savvy enough to keep their number-plates outside the seal of the tent, which provided clues. I found my place eventually.

This is a celebratory flame in the middle of a pool. I was wandering David Pecaut Square on Sunday morning, before most other exhibitors had arrived, so a few of my photos are from that time. I was having difficulty finding reference points that would give away where my tent was, even with a map.

An eternal flame burns on a pedestal in the middle of a shallow pond. A commemorative plaque is in the foreground, while closed white tents are visible in the background.

Bugs were frequent visitors. Most were just passing through (which was good given how many were bees/wasps) but a particular red dragonfly loved to hang out. Not pictured, a monarch butterfly kept patrolling but didn't pose for me.

A dragonfly perches on the top left corner of a paperback copy of Prince Ewald the Brave, a fantasy novel by Dylan Madeley. Blurry patchy grass is visible in the background.

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's an old photo of me in a Gloomth shirt and brown tank goggles for some reason, getting Martin Landau to sign a promotional photo from "Space: 1999" live.staticflickr.com/6196/6087434...

Clicking through to that title gets us Exhibit B, what I suspect is an inaccurate long list of co-authors for this book.

A Goodreads listing of De Palma on De Palma by Brian De Palma, with an unusually long and possibly inaccurate list of co-authors.

Dylan Madeley @dylanmadeley.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Some correctly say Goodreads is for readers, not authors. But it may be worth checking the accuracy of their listings for you. Behold Exhibit A, a yellow cover around which I have placed a red oval for emphasis.

A Goodreads listing of books it has identified as being by Dylan Madeley. In the middle of this list is a yellow covered book titled "De Palma on De Palma" by Brian De Palma.

A woman with long brown hair stands before a carved wooden throne backed by a dark chiseled stone background. The woman's dress is brown with goldwork trim and white fur about the shoulders. She is making a gesture of some sort with her hands in front of her, wearing a few different rings. Her crown is made mostly of gold with a red stone at the forehead and gold chain attachments hanging like earrings next to her head; the crown is topped with short antlers. A couple of gold necklaces hang down to her bust, one of which has a predator's large pointed tooth as its pendant. She has light peachy skin and some blush or makeup about her cheeks. Title text near her lap reads Alathea: Goddess and Empress. Smaller author text below that reads Dylan Madeley.

A young man stands in front of a stained glass window through which bright light is pouring. He is wearing high waisted trousers, a cotton shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a hunter green vest with exquisite goldwork in the shape of a royal insignia, a cravat with a ruby pin. He is holding a sword up with his shoulder-level right hand. He has chin length hair, fierce brows and a look of determination. Not far behind him are two vacant wooden thrones. The author name at the top reads Dylan Madeley. The title text under the author name reads, in larger text, Prince Ewald the Brave.
