March Madness: Uncanny on the Road

Book launches, panels, festivals and conventions are part of the writer's (and editor's) life these days, but in my experience that tends to come in waves. Sometimes it's attached to a new release, but this time it appears to have been nothing more complicated than Sp Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Dan Coxon (?)

“The membrane between worlds was thinner out here than the inland-dwelling peoples could ever realise, so they expected no help.”
― Dan Coxon, This Dreaming Isle

“Enough of happy. I’m sick of happy. The prison of it, a weight on my lungs. The thing I should be aiming to feel, and make others feel. It’s a relief when the pleasant young man asks me instead, ‘Can you remember a time in the village when you were sad?”
― Dan Coxon, This Dreaming Isle
