Kansas City loves it’s cars. And it’s bikes. And pickups. And everything with wheels.. This pulled up just outside BRGR, the best place we’ve eaten this week and also the weirdest. As well as a parade of automotive pride that included an actual low rider, countless trucks and a lot of bikes, it was a …
Good news everyone! I found the Kansas City portal to Narnia! #midamericon2
So #worldcon/#midamericon2 is in Kansas City. Kansas City is in Missouri. It’s also in Kansas. I’m in Kansas in this photo. The other side of the street is in Missouri. I rather like that.
#worldcon / #midamericon2 Photo Journal Day 2. The social stuff’s going fantastically and it’s always nice to put faces to Twitter accounts, especially when the people behind the accounts are so profoundly lovely. The organisational side?

So we’re at #worldcon / #midamericon2 this week and I’m trying a thing. Specifically a daily photo journal. Here’s day 1, hour 12(ish) of flight and hour 17 or so of travel, chasing the sunset into Kansas City.

They’re some of the very best creators working in UK comics right now and as promised, here are links to where you can find their stuff as well as …
I’ve been thinking a lot about Doctor Faustus recently. Christopher Marlowe’s play is one of the all time greats; a scientist sells his soul for power and knowledge and decides he’ll figure out the whole ‘internal torment’ thing later. It does not go well for him. It does go very well for literature though and …
One of the biggest joys I get from working in genre fiction is seeing fantastically talented, fantastically nice people succeed. And these days that’s happening a lot more than it used to. Uncanny Magazine are, for me, an example of everything this industry does right. They’re immensely hard-working, immensely enthusiastic people who have been part …
I can’t remember the last time a comic has packed so many haunting moments into a single issue. Animosity grabs you by the lapels, on average, about once a page as writer and creator Marguerite Bennett shows us just what a world where animals can communicate would be like. There’s one three double-splash page section in …
