Short, rumpled Scotsman. Has a terrible pain in all the diodes down his left hand side.
Not on social media as much as he used to be but if he is, it will be occasional writing and a lot of stupid bollocks.

The full Fantasycon Glasgow SF writing circle experience.

A copy of Haverin, a green book with a redhead woman surrounded by books and a cat on it, beside a tub of tablet.

We've topped up the tablet, by the way. Stop me in the Fantasycon bar for some sugar, buy a book.

@munchkinstein.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:38 AM

You can stop a very tired me in the hotel to buy one today. I cannot promise I'll say anything coherent while you do, mind.

We will have limited copies of Haverin at Fantasycon for the last day. We will be at Pictcon, where copies will be available. And there is still the night in Sauchiehall St Waterstones 21st October if you want to get a copy and catch a load of authors.

Massive congratulations to our Christopher Caldwell on winning Best Collection for Call and Response, and to Jenni Coutts on winning Best Artist (a great way to mark her stepping down from BFS Horizons as art editor)!

Christopher Caldwell is a short-haired black man in a snappy pink suit and tie standing next to a white brunette woman in a green cardy and dark dress. They are both smiling and holding framed awards.

I've attended a panel! On the business of short fiction and very interesting, if lacking the magic answer on how to make money.

I live! Thankfully I didn't have to be the clever one.

@munchkinstein.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 7:55 AM

There was much chat about macaroons last night. I do need to try that.

Good morning! Turns out you can run on nothing but tablet for a considerable time, but oh grief is real food at breakfast this morning good. Now to try to sound coherent on a panel at Fantasycon.

@munchkinstein.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 8:36 PM

We launched a book. Copies were sold, money was collected, wine went like snow aff a dyke, tablet was pushed. Thanks to everyone who came and special thanks to all the authors, you're brilliant. Go buy this book.
