Yesterday we announced our forthcoming title GHOSTS ON THE CAM edited by Robert Lloyd Parry. This meticulously researched volume gives insight into M. R. James's Cambridge, and even sheds light on the possible identity of the elusive "DNJ". Pre-order here: swanriverpress.ie/srp-title/gh...

Had a lovely night @norncon.bsky.social - listened to many beautiful readings, also performed my musical number (from book 1 or 2? YES) for the first time. Held a UK copy of ALL HAIL CHAOS with its shiny foil. On Fridays, we (me and @rflong) wear green.

Connolly Station used to be my regular station for school/work commutes. 30 years ago I'd exit right and go to school. 20 years ago I'd exit left and go to work. Today I'm headed to Belfast and @norncon.bsky.social later. Always loved the train service is called "The Enterprise".

@norncon.bsky.social is only a few weeks away now! I'm one of the Guests of Honour alongside @aptshadow.bsky.social The programme has now been finalised and looks AMAZING! And Belfast is such a lovely city. #books #booksky #fantasy #fantasybooks #sff

I'm delighted, excited and maybe slightly overawed to be a Guest of Honour at the inaugural NornCon in Belfast this May, alongside the great Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Mat 8th to 9th, Hilton Lanyon Place, Belfast.

Belfast is a beautiful, friendly city; I've visited several times and love it there.

While the Ulster Cycle has had a huge influence on my own writing, especially The Making of This World Ruined.

And outside of the con there's Game of Thrones tours, the Titanic museum, whiskey, the Belfast fry...
