First Interview as an Author

I answered cunning questions from Hippogriff's Aerie for my first ever interview as an author. Featuring: stop-motion skeletons, video nasties of the 80s, mysterious statues and the beauty of swords. Oh, and The Traitor God, better mention that too! You can read it HERE.

Satellite 5

Oh dear. I've just volunteered to be part of a HEMA-for-writers  panel at Satellite 5 , a SF convention happening in Glasgow in May. The panel on Historical European Martial Arts will be hosted by the fearsome Journeymouse, also known as Jo Thomas and my part will basically involve being stabbed, hacked, slashed and beaten up with a variety of swords (Yay for padding and masks!). It should prove interesting! More details as they come...
