So this weekend was the wonderful Thoughtbubble convention. It takes place in Harrogate and is a marvellous event with hundreds of comics creators, and a friendly, upbeat atmosphere. It's also v welcoming if you know sod all about comics (I don't anymore! I def know a little bit! But when I first went this was…

Two posts in two days. What is this? But never fear, yet again I'm posting about some smashing news rather later then when it was announced. It's more Big Finish, and it's giddyingly awesome: I've written for Tom Baker. I thought it wasn't going to be out for years and years (it's still quite a…
Now if you are a BIg Finish fan, you might think "But that release came out months ago." Which is true. But the sentence is still correct, just horribly untimely. I would like to blame Covid. Anyway, my one (and only) contribution to the main range of Big Finish Doctor Who came out in December.…

A I type I keep glancing up at the window to make sure the land hasn't been covered in a sheet of white. Storm Ciara has hit the UK and it's a bit, uh, blustery out. And cold. And sleety. And snowy. I'm off to Glasgow later today, where I'm flying from tomorrow, but there's…
So excited to wake up this morning and discover that The Diary of River Song Series Seven is out! It seems forever since I wrote it, and it's such a thrill to know it's finally out in the world. It also remains utterly bizarre to me that I *wrote words* that *Alex Kingston* acted, and…
There are hundreds of articles about starting podcasting online, full of helpful and relevant advice. Is this one of them? Uh, maybe. Sort of. I guess. I mean, why not? I have experience though! It's coming up to Verity!'s seventh birthday (how??!) (also, you can enter our seventh anniversary giveaway!), and Hammer House of Podcast's…
