#StayTrueandStaunch – Fanatical About Fanatical

Whenever I decide to write a review about something I’ve been to see it’s usually with a hint of the fanboi in me. And sometimes I feel extremely guilty about that fact, but when it comes to Fanatical – A Sci-Fi Convention Musical I have no need to. It’s a musical that literally pulls at the heartContinue reading “#StayTrueandStaunch – Fanatical About Fanatical”

Flying like a headless chicken through space

With days to go before I launch The Journey Home on my Facebook page, things are a bit chaotic over here in writing central. I’m busily trying to get more people involved in the launch and the ongoing crowdfunding campaign for my 2017 Book Tour. My Patreon page could do with a boost too. So if you see me flying round in orbit, arms flapping, you know why.

RIP Jerry Doyle… Sleep well now Mr Garibaldi

Sci-Fi, Queer Women, and the lack of our representation

I live for Sci-Fi, I breathe Sci-Fi, and I dream in Sci-Fi and Fantasy. ScienceContinue reading “Sci-Fi, Queer Women, and the lack of our representation”

Back at Sci-Fi Scarborough 2015, we were treated to a panel with Virginia Hey, Terry Molloy and Jon Campling for an upcoming web series called Kosmos. The panel was funny and intelligent and full of witty banter (and smutty banter) but all we heard about the show was it was set in a hospital. ThatContinue reading “Kosmos – an exciting web series”

There is only one Zhaan

I will always have a soft spot for the blue lady of Farscape. As will a lot of people I know. We giggle like schoolgirls when watching Zhaan’s photosynthetic reaction to the sun…. And I won’t deny a few of us may wish we were that sun. For many of my tribe, Zhaan was theContinue reading “There is only one Zhaan”

2014 – this year’s summary

This year has been memorable for several reasons. Some global, some not. There have been definitive landmarks for me and I know that some of them have paved the way for 2015. I’ll try to keep this concise, I’ll fail. Because this year has had a lot of different intertwining moments. So in no particularContinue reading “2014 – this year’s summary”
