Look at this! Isn’t it lovely! Sorry, but I’m unduly enthusiastic about my new website, brought to you by the technical expertise of M-the-Ubergeek, plus some tweaking from yours truly. Actually the content is, at the moment, remarkably similar to the old site, though hopefully with less typos and more consistent fonts. However, over the […]
In what may be one of the last posts on this blog (gasp!) I’d like to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Before you panic (what, you weren’t panicking? ooh-kay), this isn’t because I’m off to join a nunnery or bike across Asia. It’s because jainefenn.com is about to […]
Over the next few weeks, this website will be getting a revamp. It won’t all happen at once – although there may be a moment of mild shock and confusion between Xmas and New Year, which I’m sure we’ll all deal with – but for now, there have been updates to the ‘Short Stories‘ page, […]
I always feel awkward writing posts like this. Christmas itself can bring embarrassments enough of its own, but the season I’m referring to is actually awards season. Nebulas, BSFA, Goodreads, you know, that lot. I’m particularly embarrassed about doing this in 2013, as it has been a year which has produced some stunning SFF fiction. […]
Back in early October I mentioned a book review which, though I didn’t name names at the time, was for Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice – but look, weeks have gone by and it hasn’t appeared here yet. Anyway, finally, here’s what I thought of one of the most talked-about SF books of the year: Not […]
Although World Fantasy Con already seems far in the past, one of the highlights for me was the launch of The Alchemy Book of Urban Mythic, in which my story exploring some of the weirdness that may lurk under the streets of London, ‘Not the Territory’, shares the bill with such marvelous writers as Mike […]
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.
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.
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 […]
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.
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, […]
