Chris Dolley's second novel, Shift, has just been published by Baen.
17/06/07 Paul Cornell says that since P-Con V is just a few after Swancon in Aussie, he is not going to be feeling up for another event, even if he was back in the country by then. So, his apologies, but he'll have to decline this time, and hopes we'll have him back the year after. Which of course we'll be delighted to arrange.

23/05/07 News item from Paul Cornell.
Hi, you lot. You're the first people I've got in touch with to spread the word about a campaign I'm running on behalf of someone I'm trying to get nominated for the World Fantasy Awards. Her name's Deanna Hoak, and you can read my pitch here. I'd really appreciate it if you could see your way clear to circulating the above address to as many online SF and Fantasy news pages as possible (a couple of you, obviously, I've chosen because you own such sites). I'm aiming, of course, to get the attention of those with memberships to the World Fantasy Convention. If anyone can offer me any advice as to how best to find that audience, or about other people I should bring in on this, I'd much appreciate that too. Cheers.
Check out my blog.
19/05/07 News item from John W Sexton
Things have been really good here the past few weeks. I've been invited to the states for next April, all expenses paid, for a poetry reading at a major literary conference over there, and I'm also the winner of this year's Listowel Poetry Prize in the single poem category (the presentation is in a fortnight's time). I'm pretty busy at the moment with workshops and school residencies and stuff like that (spent this entire week in Longford giving workshops for the Pushkin Trust) so times are looking good at long last.
10/03/07 P-Con IV came to a successful conclusion. As a result, it was decided that P-Con V will take place in Spring of 2008
