Happy and honoured to be on yet another @bafta Gam

Happy and honoured to be on yet another @bafta Games Awards judging panel, this time going through the staggeringly great selection of nominees for Best Debut Game.

Big thanks to both BAFTA and @omnislash92 for inviting (and expertly chairing) such a fun and interesting panel, alongside an array of talented and insightful peers. Best of luck to all of the nominees!

(One day I'm going to actually be able to attend the Awards and nominees party... one day.)

Continuing the whirlwind of 2024 so far, I was humbled and honoured when asked to write a personal column for one of the publishing industry's leading periodicals, @_thebookseller.

Ahead of this Thursday's Black to the Future panel on The Other in Fantasy (@bttf_space), I delved into my thoughts and challenges of writing fantasy series Magic of Myths from the perspective of being a black person confronted with an interesting - and brutally honest - question...

You can read it on the homepage (!) of the @_thebookseller's site via the link on their Insta bio, or here if you're on desktop / can copy and paste: https://www.thebookseller.com/comment/the-impossibility-of-authenticity

It's been a whole week and a half since my last announcement, so to keep the ball rolling...

My first speaking engagement of 2024 is going to be a fun one - I'm in a live panel alongside writers/creators @esmiejp and @symoneforever, as we explore representation in fantasy and the evolution of the Other. Hosted by columnist and editor @amonwarmann, as part of the massive @bttf_space festival, the panel will take place at @britishlibrary on 8th Feb.

You can join us by booking your ticket via @bttf_space’s bio or this desktop link:

Somehow being my third unexpected appearance on BB

Somehow being my third unexpected appearance on BBC Radio in the past 12 months - next Tuesday on 9th Jan I'm talking about games and Windrush Tales on @bbcradio3's great Free Thinking programme, alongside mathematician and author Marcus du Sautoy OBE, Gemma Tidman, from Queen Mary, University of London, and Timothy Peacock, founding Director of the Games and Gaming Lab at the University of Glasgow.

The show starts at 10pm, so feel free to tune in and have a listen!

It didn't seem that long ago when @yoms and I star

It didn't seem that long ago when @yoms and I started working together and he asked me "which is the biggest comic book show we should aim for to promote our books?"

And despite my thoughts that it was virtually impossible to get a table at San Diego Comic Con as a newbie, well... it's now officially confirmed that we're heading back to SDCC this July to mark our *10th* year (how?!) exhibiting there.

Unreal.

(But, to tease further, 2024 is going to be a year of strangely unreal things happening...)

So, 10 years at the biggest show in town. It's only appropriate that we might have something a little extra lined up to celebrate our big milestone.

Stay tuned...

Happy New Year, lovely people.

Well, there's a lot happening behind the scenes and a whole bunch of things to get through, so let's kick things off with something a little fun.

If you've not already caught it, Clockwork Watch creator @yoms has started an excellent podcast going behind the scenes of our award-winning transmedia steampunk series.

It's two episodes in with many more to come, so you can quickly catch-up here (https://shows.acast.com/6565dd6c46897a0013cbb767) - if you're not on desktop, type into a search engine "acast clockwork watch" and it'll come up.

Enjoy!
