The much-anticipated fandom event known as WorldCon Glasgow is starting this week, and I’m delighted to be attending it. I haven’t been to Europe since pre-COVID times, and Glasgow Worldcon will be my first European convention ever as a published novelist. So I’m very much looking forward to meeting readers, doing panels, and seeing people I haven’t seen for an awfully long time.
If you’re attending, here’s where you’ll be able to find me:
(Pre-convention): August 7, Signing at Forbidden Planet Glasgow from 5pm. (If you can’t attend in-person, email the store and place an order, and I’ll happily sign/personalise the book for you.)
August 8, Panel, How Real Aliens Would Behave on Earth, 8:30pm (GM1+), Hall 1
August 9, Autographing/Signing, 11:30am, Hall 4
That’s the official schedule. But I’ll also attending several social events through-out the weekend. They include:
Pop-up Social Glasgow:
August 8, August 9, August 10. 14:00-16:00, Hall 4 (open seating area)
Grim Socials:
Friday, August 9th, Hall 4 Bar, 3:30pm onwards
Sunday August 11th, Crowne Plaza Fan Bar, Argyll Foyer, 3pm onwards
Otherwise, I expect to be lurking in the bar or in the coffeehouses throughout the weekend. If you see me, feel free to say hi. And if you want a book signed, it doesn’t have to be at one of the signings, I’m happy to do it anywhere, anytime (as long as I’m not eating!).
I’ll also be bringing a ton of bookmarks and other swag with me to giveaway. If you see me, stop me and get one!
As for my own personal writing, I don’t have much else to say . . . yet. I’ve breached 100k on the new project I’ve been calling the Rage book, and it’s extremely promising. I’m also working on something else on the side, something I’ll be self publishing. I expect to get that into your hands very soon. Possibly as early as this year, or Q1 2025 at the very latest.
Watch this space…
