Oh, doesn’t time fly when you’re not paying attention, eh? You won’t have seen me much on here due to yet another lengthy state of flux. Now that I’m posting to say things are showing gradual signs of settling down now, I do have some fun announcements.
First thing: early tomorrow, I’m getting on a plane to Dublin as a guest for Octocon! This is a great honour for me, and I shall be on several panels in my time there. I’m very much looking forward to it!
Speaking of honour though, the following weekend sees me up in Leeds City Museum, performing a historical piece and portraying the amazing figure that is Walter Tull. If you’ve never heard of him, you’re probably not alone, but take some time to look up his story, I promise you will find it interesting at the very least. And I have a show on Saturday October 22nd entitled Know My Name for this precise reason. It’s Black History Month in the UK, and Walter Tull has a significant place in modern history. The images you see are from a field trip I took a few days ago to Sixfields, Northampton, of the memorial to him raised in 1999. But don’t just take my word for it, look him up! Big thanks to History’s Maid, by the way, for pointing this my way, so show some love!
Finally, Book 3 of the Grenshall Manor Chronicles is in progress, though of course has been the victim of significant delays on my part, for which I can only apologise. The upside to it is that things I have come across in the delay time may well find their way into the book, and will only help things along. Let’s just say Tull’s story isn’t entirely unrelated.
