Chopper On Tour – Triumph in Nottingham!
I guess there’s a serious amount of ego and hubris involved in using the word “triumph” in the title of this blog post, and I’m usually a little more modest than that, but at the same time everybody’s got the right to blow their own trumpet once in a while and if this ain’t the … Continue reading Chopper On Tour – Triumph in Nottingham!

Chopper On Tour: Fantasycon 2015 Schedule
Fantasycon happens this weekend in Nottingham. As you might expect, I’m going to be there. If you’re extremely unlucky, you might encounter me at the karaoke. As far as scheduling goes, I’m not on panels or the individual reading events this time around. (Sledge-Lit, next month, is another matter, but more on that anon…) There … Continue reading Chopper On Tour: Fantasycon 2015 Schedule

Bristolcon 2015: the Tigger-Bounce Post
Gosh, that was fun! It’s tempting to leave it there and go catch up on my sleep before the day-job looms back into view, but that wouldn’t do justice to the weekend, so here goes. It was a long and full weekend too – even though Bristolcon is a one-day event it’s far enough from … Continue reading Bristolcon 2015: the Tigger-Bounce Post

Quick Guest Blog Notification
I’m off prepping for Bristolcon – and hopefully I’ll see some of you there! – but before I disappear, the great folks at Tickety Boo Press have my thoughts on the meaning of overnight success¹ right here. ¹Clue: it takes longer than that.

Shipshape & BristolCon Fashion
BristolCon happens on September 26th, at the Doubletree Hotel – in Bristol, natch. I’ll be there! More than that, though – if you’re up for playing a BristolCon version of Where’s Chopper?, you’ll probably find me in the main programme room at 2pm for the launch of Joanne Hall‘s new novel Spark & Carousel, and … Continue reading Shipshape & BristolCon Fashion

Chopper On Tour: July Blog Round-Up
It’s been a busy old month – so much so that I even left the multi-talented Alex Davis in charge of affairs for a day while I was elsewhere. (Alex’s own blog is well worth a read, as I’ve already mentioned, especially since it has recent guest posts from such great folk as Issy Brooke, Andy … Continue reading Chopper On Tour: July Blog Round-Up
