Went to see Stawmoddie Theatre’s production of Terry Pratchett’s Feet of Clay last night at #Cymera2025 and loved it! And super excited that they’re doing Monstrous Regiment in August!

Had such a lovely time on the "Future-tellers" panel with Tiffani Angus's amazing questions and moderation alongside @rainewilson.bsky.social ! Now I desperately need to know more about how Lorraine caught the bubonic plague - what a story! #Cymera2025

A postcard featuring a detailed black and white ink illustration of two lovers entwined, surrounded by tentacles and eyes and the void. The card is meant to be read either way up, like a card from an imaginary divination deck. The words THE SHAPE OF MONSTERS is written on both the top and bottom of the card
I've been leaving cards around #Cymera2025 with this amazing art of Aleks and Ilea I commissioned from @jennicoutts.bsky.social .... Grab if you see one.
With exciting news on the flip side ;)

Enjoying @cymerafestival.co.uk , some very interesting author panels so far, more to follow after brief hydration break (yes, I mean beer), and bumped into a bunch of people, some I haven't seen in ages. Good to be with my tribe...

I had planned to be in the creator hall at #Cymera2025 this weekend, but as it turned out #autisticburnout in the family would have made it all but impossible.
So if you're there, say hi, I'll take a bsky tour and give some shout-outs.

Me (a white bespectacled woman in a white woolen shrug) peeking into frame beside an impromptu sign advertising my rpg TRACK DOGS.
I'm running my rpgs upstairs in the Highland Room (top floor at the far end of the courtyard) both days at #Cymera2025. You don't need any kind of pass for this part of the event, just show up and play! Today is Train Pirate adventures with TRACK DOGS, tomorrow is reverse horror fun with The Family!
