Editorial – March 2025

As predicted, this issue was late. I did manage to get some work done on the train home from Heathrow, but Tuesday was mainly spent in a state of slumber. In other news, Canada was lovely. Kevin and I had a great time. There was a lot of anti-American feeling on show, but much sympathy for individual Americans.

This month is Eastercon, and I’m delighted that Fight Like A Girl 2 is up for a BSFA Award. Roz and Jo can’t make it, so it will be down to me to turn up at the award ceremony. It would be astonishing to have two wins in consecutive years, but I can but hope.

Lots of Wizard’s Tower work is going on in the background, but I can’t talk about much of it right now. Suffice it to say that we have 8 books in the pipeline for this year or early next, with probably more to come.

I note that today is a day of protest by The Society of Authors against the wholesale theft of millions of copyright works (including some of mine) by the pirates at Meta. I doubt that the government will be willing to stand up to them, but here’s an example of the protest material.

And I must rush as I am off to a writing retreat for the weekend in a lovely part of Wales that has No Internet.
