Very much enjoying this panel with @tiffaniangus.bsky.social and @vallescurarule.bsky.social about their Specfic For Newbies books (@lunapress.bsky.social) and their processes and writing thoughts.
You can see it on catch up on the @britfantasysoc.bsky.social page, I believe, if you buy a ticket.

Also the first volume came out many years ago (2005) and was called Nova Scotia, created for a Worldcon that came to Glasgow. So volume 2, same name and clear subtitle, has also been created for Worldcon coming to Glasgow this year. 🤗

The BFS awards are open, & many of the excellent @lunapress.bsky.social novellas, including Ashes of the Ancestors, are on the long list. So if you liked one of them, & you're a BFS member, maybe give one of our lovely novellas your vote.
