It’s been a short rest between cons… but I’m about to re-pack.

Bristol was amazing. Thank you to everyone who came, it may have been smaller than usual, but it was still perfectly formed.
If I didn’t get to say hi, let’s try to next year!

Oh, there's picture proof of me surviving a panel on #SPFBO at #BristolCon!

The wonderful guest of honor
@hannafordjenny.bsky.social moderating, @tomunro.bsky.social and @patricksamphire.bsky.social jumping in at the very last minute!

The whiskey definitely helped with smoothing nerves...

Maybe you need to be slightly more specific about which type of scientist you want 😁

The cover of They Are Still Here (Mae Nhw Yma O Hyd).

The image is of the sorceror, Gwydion, surrounded by wild animals (wolf, boar, deer) in a Celtic knotwork frame. Gwydion's hat is crowned with antlers. He carries an axe in his right hand and an oak twig in his left.

Art by Josh Arklin.

But I’m feeling persuaded … I’ll pack them!

J E Hannaford @hannafordjenny.bsky.social · 9d

I have a new book I’m looking to maybe find a home for. It might frighten some folk off! 😂😂

J E Hannaford @hannafordjenny.bsky.social · 9d

Also… YAY! You’re coming! It will be great to see you

J E Hannaford @hannafordjenny.bsky.social · 9d

FINE!

Also. I have been advised that maybe World fantasy Con is not necessarily a dragon scales on my face, kind of convention. They will be out in Bristol, but maybe not Brighton.

I am SOOO excited to see so many friends over the next couple of weeks starting with Bristol Con then World Fantasy Con!!
Because of our move, I haven’t seen most people since last October. And I can’t wait to HUG you all!!

And I know I’ll get to meet some people I have never met in person too!

Queer urban fantasy with Celtic mythology? As a treat? And less than £1 for either ebook or audiobook?

You deserve it 😘

It’s coming in for spooky season… and I have a cosy, witch novella about a group who lose their familiars, just before the intervillage games…

Trouble is brewing in Unfamiliared, with a few soggy boots!

See this face? And this shell?

Cariad has once again found the snail out of the tank… and nursed it until I realised he had it, and put it back in!

As for the ‘innocent’ in this situation. I only took the coaster off the open tank corner last night!

I really need to learn to spell check!

Welll…
Offering a tickerisation prize leads to some funny emails I suppose.

How would you like to die today? And in which world. What shall I call you as I arrange your (literary) departure?

How did I get this far into the month, before remembering it’s #Inktober?
I haven’t hit any new hectors prepared this year, but I love looking at the posts.

J E Hannaford @hannafordjenny.bsky.social · 21d

So tired that I just got into a yawn-off with my dog!

J E Hannaford @hannafordjenny.bsky.social · 21d

Amazing!
