Rob reminded me today that my last post was ages ago, and something like 'I'm back' - cue big drumroll, much excitement, tooting horns - followed by what we will politely call a swift tapering-off of posting. And so I mark my second, much-anticipated, no doubt heralded return to this blogging forum... with an advert. But it's a good one. See, you're all tantalised now. Click on to see what I could possibly be endorsing. [update: link fixed now] Alt.Fiction is proud to present its first residential writing weekend an ideal opportunity for writers of science fiction, fantasy and horror to get away from it all, meet and work with like-minded people and enjoy workshops and talks with established authors in the field. Offering workshops, feedback sessions and expert advice, these weekends are sure to both inform and inspire.
