It is time for FantasyCon again this month. The British Fantasy Society has its annual bash in Brighton at the end of the month and hanging over to October. I am there again where I look forward to meeting many SFF friends.

One of them, Jonathan Pinnock, is having a coruscating success with his unique novel, Mrs Darcy versus the Aliens. It started as a piece of fun on his blog and grew. We, at Cafe Doom, thirsted for each instalment and are delighted with his success. It is available in WH Smith in the UK and on Amazon here.You have to get one- the funniest book using a kind of fan fiction element of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. Watch out Jasper Fforde, Jonathan Pinnock is coming.

I’ll be seeing Jon at FantasyCon. They are having a raffle and have accepted my science fiction mystery – Exit, Pursued by a Bee (web page) – and the Escape Velocity anthology (see here) for prizes.
