I think Strawmoddie Theatre’s production of Terry Pratchett’s Feet of Clay was one of the highlights at the multi-highlighted #Cymera Festival. edinburgh-reviews.co...

The #Cymera Festival started with the panel featuring T.L. Huchu, J.J. Marr and @emmanewman.bsky.social Their thoughts on genre, politics and writing were brilliant. I also learned about a pirate cocktail called “Bumbo”🍹Is there, I don’t know, a pirate bar in Edinburgh where I can try this? (3/17)

Another year, another wonderful #Cymera festival! Sapphic pirates, uncanny synthetic meat, time traveling explorations of dementia, terrifying town rituals, explorations of weird and “murdery” folklore, retelling myths and legends, vampires and werewolves and witches! Oh my! (1/17)

Writers on stage at Cymera
So I beheld @griffski.bsky.social & fabulous fellow authors @cymerafestival.co.uk talking Dark Desires & the gothic. Truly loved her saying ‘In all this terror… hot people can exist. Life affirming.’ #cymera

Well, that's me home from Edinburgh. A long day. But good to see as many people as I did, even if I didn't get to talk as much as I'd have liked. #cymera

On way home from #Cymera, that was lovely. Caught up with friends, had writing chat, got head out of (my ass) politics for a day.

Just a quick FYI for those at #Cymera Festival - this isn't us, though it is recommended!
The GSFWC difference is we meet both online and in-person, and do other fabby things like write-ins and anthologies. For more about the GSFWC, check out our info thread embedded below.

On way to #Cymera. Bit slow-moving, I don't travel well any more or leave home easily, and dealing with a lot of anxiety about BT police threats against trans people. Still, fuck 'em.

A table holding two books, The Shetland Witch, and Stories from The Shetland Witch.
A day of driving and we are in (near) Edinburgh! Ready for #Cymera tomorrow, selling books, doing a reading, checking out the workshops and releasing my accent, too long suppressed under English skies. Ye ken.

Deeply jealous of everyone making the trip to #cymera after jury service stymied my latest effort to get to what's becoming known as the chillest convention in the UK. I hope you all have a brill time and I will try not to seethe too much 😂

Off to #Cymera to get my weekend pass and see a couple of the panels.
Naturally going to a book festival, I haven’t read the instructions on how to collect my pass 😁

My husband doesn’t use BlueSky, so I’m safe to ask all of Booksky….
How do I get away with spending money on bookish things at @cymerafestival.co.uk this weekend?
I’m suppose to be on a book buying ban but BOOK FESTIVAL!
