We had our first #ReadWomenSF chat this evening and it went great! Big thank you to everyone who joined in. It would be nice to see some more fellas in next month’s though. Tom doesn’t really count.

I handed in Book 2 of The Voices series to my publishers on 19th September, so I’ve spent at a good couple of weeks catching up on stuff. So, here we go. FILMS Kubo […]
