So, this time last week I was in Lincoln once again for
Weekend at the Asylum 2013*. This year I headed up at stupid o'clock Saturday morning but upon arrival was met by a host of familiar faces (many of whom appear in the slideshow below).
Lincoln By Night
Both Saturday and Sunday saw me hosting panels about Steampunk fiction, which were better attended than in previous years, with one of them taking over the main hall of the Lincoln Assembly Rooms. It was great to catch up with old friends, and make new ones, even if I did manage to avoid meeting The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing, even though that stopped by the stall I was sharing with Mr Kit 'Major Jack Union' Cox and Miss Emily Ladybird.

Other highlights included being interviewed by Geek Syndicate, having a fan practically order me to write another
Pax Britannia novel, and having one of my short stories not only appear in the annual Asylum short story collection -
Ghosts of the Asylum, published by
The Last Line - but also headline the collection!

Once again, it was a wonderful weekend of mirth and merriment, and you can get just the smallest taster of what it was like by viewing the following magic lantern presentation...

Or Asylum V as it was also being referred to.
