For the second year in a row, I'll be appearing at the NineWorlds festival of all things geek. I'll be roaming the halls of the conference hotel for most of the weekend, but if you want to catch me I'll be appearing in three scheduled events:

Sex Lives of Goblins

Friday Aug 4 at 8:30pm

Sex in SFF is an oft underrated topic. We'll talk about writing good sex scenes, horror stories of the cringe-inducing sex scenes and different approaches to writing them.

Robots, AI and the Labour Market

Sunday Aug 6 at 3:15pm

Lessons from the past and now for the future: economics meets science fiction as our panel discuss the implications that artificial intelligence has for the labour market.

Lucky Ghost signing

Sunday Aug 6 at 4.15pm

Straight after the Robots panel, I'll be signing copies of my books at the Big Green Bookshop stand. There'll be Top Trump cards and stickers for you to take away for free!
