Steampunking at the SFX Weekender (and a free book for you, even if you aren't here)

Well, here I am in a chilly cold North Wales at the SFX Weekender, Europe's largest and best scifi con, with a great view of the beach and a sea full of oddly lovely looking wind turbines. Tomorrow at 5pm will see the steampunk panel with the UK's leading writers in the genre.

How do you put the punk into steampunk? [panel discussion]

Moderator: Jonathan Green (Solaris/Abaddon) with:

Robert Rankin (Gollancz)

Karen Grover (and others from the Victorian Steampunk Society?)

Lavie Tidhar (Angry Robot)

Stephen Hunt (Harper Collins)

Sam Stone (Murky Depths)

Raven Dane (Murky Depths).

I'm told that the 6th novel in my Jackelian fantasy series (set in a Victorian-level steampunk future), From the Deep of the Dark, is already shipping from Amazon. Yipee.

And talking of Amazon, if you have a Kindle, you can also download my new spy-fy novella, In the Company of Ghosts, free – but only until this Sunday. Get it here from the UK or here from the USA.
