In Wellington, NZ, for a long weekend. Lucky with the weather (sunny and not very windy) and lucky to find these three hardcovers (I have had the paperbacks for many years) in the Pegasus bookshop.

Thirty hours door to door, from the hotel in Brighton (UK) to my house in Sydney. A beautiful day here, with Snufkin demanding I immediately take him out for a walk. WFC was fun, great to see lots of people, but there’s no place like home.

I dropped into the Word for World exhibition yesterday morning. Not a vast amount of material, but very interesting to see a number of Le Guin’s hand drawn maps and illustrations. I (pridefully and perhaps wrongly) thought her map drawing style very similar to my own.

Been ages since I’ve had dinner here, quaffing ale with the likes of Peep O’Day Smilliken, Codger Lewis and Partially-Accurate Toby. Good to see it hasn’t changed. Apart from the addition of Campari.

I had a great time at Brisbane Writers Festival. A brief, but packed day and a half for me! Thanks to everyone who came along to my four events, my fellow panellists and chairs, the organisers, volunteers and booksellers.

I’ll be at WFC for the whole time, but if you can’t make it for the whole duration this is good. (The Friday night mass autographing is always a highlight, if you can only get to one day).
If you can't make the full four days then individual day attendances (tickets) are now available in the website shop:
worldfantasy2025.co.uk/shop/
These do not include online access and voting rights, but can be bought alongside an online membership.
