As much as I’d love to, I sadly don’t have capacity. Sorry!!
@vpeanuts.bsky.social also loved the sound of it. Keep on, please!
Heading home after a bloody awesome @baytales.bsky.social festival. And as terrifying as it was Noir At The Bar was one epic night. 😁 #booksky @vulpinepress.bsky.social
Had a fantastic time at #BayTales26. The panels were varied, interesting and hugely entertaining. Many thanks to
@vpeanuts.bsky.social, @anncleeves.bsky.social, @baytales.bsky.social and all the volunteers

Booo!
A couple of tickets still available… 😉
Whoop!
Random thought of the day: if fans of Harry Styles are called Harries and Taylor Swift lovers are Swifties, what should the #baytales equivalent be? 🤔
Thank YOU!!
