I now have a new website over at http://www.elizachan.co.uk I've been meaning to pay for a domain name for years now but finally took the plunge, mainly because I am procrastinating over edits. There's nothing like a novel to make you do your other little jobs. Please have a look and let me know if… Continue reading New Website
So… that was Worldcon
So I have now returned to reality, nearly a week after Dublin Worldcon. And it was... an experience. The last worldcon I went to was Interaction in Glasgow 2005. I was 21 and I only went because it was in my home city. I remember going to panels with Anne McCaffrey and Terry Pratchett; buying… Continue reading So… that was Worldcon
Dublin Worldcon schedule
(Amended to add a last minute panel! I can't wait to fangirl over ATLA, Steven Universe, Tuca & Bertie and more) I'm going to Worldcon in Dublin this August from Thursday 15th to Monday 19th. This is the first worldcon I've been to in fourteen years and the first I will ever be a panelist… Continue reading Dublin Worldcon schedule

Catherine Tobler's Sword and Sonnet. Over on his website, Matt writes very eloquently about the themes behind the story and our quest to find out… Continue reading The Bone Poet and God

One More Song – Podcastle
My short story "One More Song" was reprinted today in Podcastle as part of Artemis Rising 5. This story was originally written for World Weaver Press's Sirens anthology (editor Rhonda Parrish) back in 2016 and the world has stayed with me ever since. I am pleased beyond words for several reasons. Firstly, I've been trying… Continue reading One More Song – Podcastle
2018 Round-up
It's been fairly quiet on the publication / short story writing front for me this year because I've been working on a novel. I want to celebrate that rather than wallow in the dearth of new short stories because things are still moving in the right direction. I had two reprints published this year. Kikinasai,… Continue reading 2018 Round-up
Gambarimasu!
I wrote up my general feelings for BSFA's vector and you can read it here. On a more personal note, I was overwhelmed by everyone whom I met last year greeting me with joy and warmth. And they introduced me to even more lovely people and wow, I get it now, this feeling of family!… Continue reading Gambarimasu!
