Indeed Simon. I feel really sad this morning. Murdered for looking different...terrible.

I have blogged:

The clue's in the post title, so don't say you weren't warned...

Oh, and for all those attending Fantasycon, I shall be reading on the Friday night at 6.30 pm, venue to be announced...

[simonbestwick]

OK, update on Fantasycon...

6.30 pm. I shall be reading... and I've only just realised I'll be the first one up for the whole Con!  Eek!  So please show up and make a scared man a bit more relaxed.  Currently planning to read an excerpt from the new novel I'm writing plus a short story.

Also on Friday night:

10.30pm. I'll be on the panel 'Get Real: Looking at how weird fiction can often be the best tool to address issues in the world around us.' Co-starring with: Joel Lane, Simon Kurt Unsworth, Lisa Tuttle, Stephen Volk and Allen Ashley.  I'm truly not worthy.

And once that's out of the way, I'll just have fun.

See you all there!

Just done a short blog about FCon here...

Well, OK, maybe not that short...

Great blog, Simon.

Course, I would say that...

Hello again.  Ooh, looks like someone's redecorated while I was out.  Very nice- I like it!

There's a bit of new bloggage over on... my blog, funnily enough!  Read- and loved- a collection by someone else you might know here, so do have a look...

Right, my work here is done... if you're braving the elements to make the Manchester Open Night, I will hopefully see you there!

Simon.

Hello folks.  Not been here for ages, I know.  Only when I've got something to plug.

So here it is:

http://www.pendragonpress.net/books/angel-of-the-silences-by-simon-bestwick/

Angels of the Silences is a new novelette out from Pendragon Press.  It's £3.  It's got a beautiful cover by Neil Williams.  Oh, and it's by me.  But don't let that put you off.

Emily and Biff are seventeen and best friends. They have also been dead for nine months.

For any Dr Who fans out there- there's a tribute on my blog to the actor Nicholas Courtney- aka the Brigadier- who died this week.  RIP, sir.
