Mina, a tall south Asian woman stand lifting a thick wooden stave with golden glyphs along it's length. Beside her is Heidi, a woman with pale white skin and large curly hair, freckles and big round glasses.

Have sorted out my transport, memberships, and most hotels for both Novacon and SMOFcon. The former I won a membership to in the raffle last time when I was the science speaker, so it felt rude not to come along! and the latter I am going to to share/pick up ideas for content @ @emfcamp.bsky.social

Today! My first novel in six years! Everybody's Perfect!

Delany once titled a story "A Tale of Plagues and Carnivals." But what if more plague and more carnivals? What if Venice but less substantial? And more magical? With immigration and friendship? It's a bit weird but I hope you like it anyway.
Everybody's Perfect, artfully arranged on an antique map of Italy with part of my toy Venetian bookshelf and a cool pen that was a gift from Novacon when I was GoH in 2013. Photo, concept, and artful arrangement by my daughter Alex Walton, and the map is hers too.

Iain Banks (1954-2013)
was born on this day in 1954. A writer with a great sense of social justice. I still find myself anticipating his next novel which will sadly never get written. I met him once. He was funny and kind. He gave me his autograph & inside leg measurement.
The title page of The Bridge. Signed - Iain Banks (probably 32”) works without the “ as age too. Novacon Coventry 1/11/86
