So, I'd been trying to resist posting this, but I've given up. Here's the tiny video I made of the Enchanting the Fae Queen paperback at Cymera just to show up that gorgeous gold foil! 😍

I spent yesterday in Perth at @pictcon.bsky.social 2 and had a wonderful time.

Full of people I enjoy spending time with, listening to GoH @neilwilliamson.bsky.social chat is always interesting, and I ended up wrangled onto a short story panel as a last minute replacement.

Hopefully made sense 🤣

@pictcon.bsky.social What an excellent Pictcon2 that was yesterday. Great to see so many folk from the Scottish SFF community, old and - especially - new.

With thanks and applause to @effjayem.bsky.social and team for all their hard work. Here's to Pictcon 3!

I’ve been trying to make a “Cymera compilation and appreciation” post. But we’ve both been absolutely knocked out on the couch since coming home. Post to follow when my eyes can stay open 😁

I have been having the best time at the @cymerafestival.co.uk - and guess what? Somehow the @blackwells.bsky.social at the con got hold of early copies of the beautiful Enchanting the Fae Queen paperback! Even I hadn't seen them before. I love them so much! 😍

www.panmacmillan.com/authors/step...
This photo shows Steph, wearing a rainbow ombre fluffy cardigan over a blue and white flowered dress and a Cymera Speaker lanyard, grinning ecstatically at the camera while holding the paperback copies of both of her first two Queens of Villainy novels - Wooing the Witch Queen and enchanting the Fae Queen - in her hands in front of a table covered in books. This photo shows a paperback copy of Enchanting the Fae Queen held up in the air to show off the gorgeous gold foiling on the cover. The illustrated cover image of Enchanting the Fae Queen, by Stephanie Burgis, shows a blue and green background with a frame of climbing roses and branches rising through a night sky full of stars. In the center of the image, just beneath the moon, stands a massive, ominous castle with a hedge maze before it. A blonde woman in a long gown scatters sparkles in her wake as she leads her tall. uniformed male companion through the moonlit hedge maze at a run, while giant butterflies flutter overhead. The tag line reads: “All’s fae in love and war” and a blurb from Sarah Beth Durst reads: “Full of charm, wit and magic.” This photo shows a table covered in piles and piles of copies of Steph's Wooing the Witch Queen and Enchanting the Fae Queen, flanked by just as many copies of Sangu Mandanna's A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping and Elizabeth Helen's Bonded by Thorns.

Just curious if you're going to the Cymera Festival. I'm getting up at an absurd hour (for me) on Sunday morning in order to attend their remote romantasy workshop.
