re:mote voices

Hello world. This is the voice of remote. 2024. We will endeavour to resume broadcasting.

Our last post was 2017. The rise and fall of social medias and so many other things. Years of weird and isolation. We need to find ways through and back, to connect and converse. To share and embrace.

So, 2024. Let us see what we can do.

During the pandemic years writing was hard. In 2023 I wrote 3 stories, which is a lot by my standards. One of those has been accepted, and will be published in an anthology in August. Another is out on the wait and see. And the third is needing to be rewritten before I'm ready to share and explore options. I have plans for other stories, fragments always loiter, always wait to talk to me in the darkness, whispering - so how about dragons and witches and weird things?

The 82nd World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) will happen in Glasgow in 2024 – Gin24 – Thursday 8th of August to Monday 12th August. In the early 90s there were a handful of Glasgow Comicons, spun off from the London Comicon of the time, those were my first cons. But those were small scale, and different beasts compared to something like Worldcon. The last Glasgow Worldcon was 2005, which was my first con of this type. I'll be back at the SECC in 2024 for Gin24.

It'll be a big event. A big year. Hello world, a happy new year to you. From Glasgow.
