Doctor Who, SFF, history, and other things I think about far too much
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…
I intended to make another attempt to do a post a day in December. Last year was unsuccessful but, hey, I tried. ALAS, it is 2020, so I missed the fact that December started yesterday. Well done me. This year, well, everyone knows about this year. It started in March, lasted approximately three decades, and…
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…
A cover for River Song Season 7! Look, there's a nun! That's cause of me, I wrote River pretending to be a nun. In a convent. In the 12th century. There're more details about the release up that the Big Finish website, including a few words about my story from my brilliant editor, Matt…
I got to flail on Twitter a bit yesterday as it was announced that I've written a tale for season 7 of The Diary of River Song. It still feels a little bit unreal. River is one of my most beloved Doctor Who characters, I adore every moment of her, and The Husbands of River…

I meant to do ages ago and forget, brilliantly, but here is this year's post sharing what stuff I made last year that can be nominated for things, should you be so inclined: Companion Piece edited by myself and Liz Barr, is eligible in the Best Related Work category of the Hugos. This is a…
Realised this morning that though I've mentioned it a couple of times, I don't have a proper official omg-it's-out-yay! post for my recently released book on The Ambassadors of Death: Ambassadors, if you don't know, is a classic Doctor Who story, made in 1970, and is one of my very favourite of all Who goodness.…
Hello, delicious readers! I am currently rather excited as I'm off to The Americas next week, which will be full of convention (Gallifrey One) and friends and larks, but also HEAT. It is NOT FREEZING in California. Oh, for the joy of not dressing like a Yeti! In the meantime, let me share three lovely…
Some might argue the New Year arrived about a week ago; these people are, of course, wrong. It was yesterday. That bit before doesn't count because there were floods and I had fake flu, and I wish to start the New Year both well and not feeling faintly panicky every time it starts to rain.…
