If you’re at NornCon this weekend, so are we! Our co-chairs David Bamford and Alan Fleming will have a full fan table to promote Unconfined! They’ll be taking membership and volunteer sign ups and you can get lovely, shiny ribbon to show your support for Eastercon2027!

I live where people don't have to hear me ranting about AI slop IN PERSON. Obviously you get plenty of it here.

If you'd like some in person, or y'know, hear me talking about books and drawing and stuff, join us at Norncon in Belfast with a whole bunch of excellent guests on the 9th of May.
Guest announcement!

Oisín McGann is an award-winning writer and illustrator. His latest novel is 'Steel-Plate Subversive', an alternative history espionage thriller.

He lives somewhere in the Irish countryside, where people don't have to hear him ranting about AI slop.

Arrived in Belfast after a wet but very smooth journey. Here just for the night for #NornCon - @norncon.bsky.social , which I'm hoping will be fun and chill and give me more opportunities to spread the word about the @dublin2029.bsky.social Worldcon bid!

I went to Belfast for the Norncon science fiction convention. I took pictures. None of the pictures are of the science fiction convention but they do feature characters from the Narnia books.

The end times are upon us. I went to a science fiction convention and there was no Lally Wall or even a Lally Table, even though Dave Lally was there.

Probably should actually makes some travel and accommodation arrangements for Norncon. This is all not helped by not being able to afford two nights up there and being wracked with decision paralysis on whether to stay over Friday or Saturday night.

I'm so excited about this ... Eastercon in Belfast was brilliant, and now I'm going back to the same hotel as a Guest of Honour for the first Norncon in May. Alongside @aptshadow.bsky.social no less!
