Hot on the heels of my recent interview for Upcoming4.Me they’re doing a give-away of Queen of Nowhere. It runs until 20th November and is open to Everyone In The World.
Interviews! Two of Them!

Rinn, of Rinn Reads, has been kind enough to interview me for her blog. And run a giveaway too, in which you can win a copy of Downside Girls. And in the same week, I’m delighted that journalist Louise MacGregor has included me in her Interesting People Project.
Upcoming Appearances #3 – Novacon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 6 November 2013 0
The World Fantasy Convention was good, and as I paced myself a little better than normal, was not completely exhausting. It was nice to be back in a (rather windy) Brighton. Last in my current convention marathon is Novacon, this weekend in Nottingham. I’m on two programme items there: Saturday 4.30pm: ‘SF Characters in Search […]
The Story Behind the Story

Just taking a break from packing for World Fantasy Con to point anyone who is interested at UpComing4Me, the new(ish) fiction site who have been kind enough to let me go on about how I came to write Queen of Nowhere here.
Upcoming Appearances #2 – World Fantasy Convention

Back from an excellent BristolCon, and it’s time to turn my attention to the next highlight in my autumn con marathon: World Fantasy Con. At 2pm on Thursday I’ll be at the Alchemy Press reading and … … at noon on Friday it’ll be time to launch the anthology I’ll have read from on Thursday, […]
Upcoming Appearances #1 – BristolCon
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 18 October 2013 2
As promised, here’s my BristolCon schedule: Midday – my kaffeeklatsch. Sign up at the desk… 6pm – Plausible Critters. “We see a lot of creatures in SF and fantasy that are just horses or dogs in cheap disguises. Conversely, we see interesting alien life forms that are hopelessly implausible. When sticking wings on a rabbit […]
SHOPOCALYPSE!

Before we get on to my review of Dave Gullen’s debut novel Shopocalypse, there’s some stuff you need to know. Firstly, Dave is a friend. Secondly, Monico, who publish Shopocalypse, also published my short story collection Downside Girls. Given these two facts, you might expect a partisan review. However… When I write a review or […]
A passing pimp

I had a fab break. Just the right mixture of work (Milford and Andromeda One) and play (relaxing in luxury hotel). I have spent much of this week tackling the Great Washing Mountain, and drying out my liver, which took something of a bashing. In addition there is the usual logjam of post-holiday stuff, but […]
Book! Milford! Con! … and relax

Just so’s you know, the paperback of Queen of Nowhere is now available: click on the picture to the right to find out more. (I feel bad putting Amazon links up; I’ve known what they’re like for years, even before their tax shenanigans came to light, but I’ve come to see them, if not as […]
The Milford Technique
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 31 August 2013 2
For the last week or so, I have mainly been critting. Critting, short for critiquing, has something in common with reviewing, and something in common with full-on literary criticism, but is in fact neither. When you crit(ique) a story you are not looking for ways to rubbish it or show how clever you are compared […]
