Kings and Peasants – a few thoughts on class in fantasy novels – #Loncon3 & #BFC
Kings and peasants in fantasy This seems to be quite a popular subject of the moment, and I attended panels at both Loncon3 and at the British Fantasy Convention a month later, tackling the same subject – namely, why do so many people write about royalty, and not about ordinary folk.

Rainbows rule! A friend just had her hair dyed pink and purple, so I thought I’d give her some more ideas for the future based on some of the wonderful rainbow hues on display at Loncon3. Enjoy! Cool, huh? [Note – if anyone finds their hair […]
#LonCon3 – World #SF Convention – how was it?
WORLD SF CONVENTION I have been fortunate indeed that within the last year we have had both the World Fantasy Convention (see my reports via the sidebar categories) and the World SF Convention here in the UK. Over the last few days a number of people at Loncon3 have asked me if I enjoyed it. Well, […]
