The Sandwich Shop of Dreams is already on high alert.
The baked beans have been safely locked away and the croissants are being guarded until it can be determined whether or not they count as a sandwich and therefore just how offended the SSOD should be by the crimes committed upon them

Suddenly it's time to get the band back together for one last, epic quest! Bloody Rose followed soon after and Outlaw Empire, set 14 years later, is on its way.

Join us to hear about all this, live in the Discord, next Sunday, 8th February, 8:30pm UK time

I'm looking forward to chatting with the Writeopolis gang in February! Based on my previous interactions with @rjbarker.bsky.social I'm sure chaos will reign and @katiebruce.bsky.social will regret putting us in the same Zoom call

The truth is I never left the studio. They just let me out of the cupboard twice a year.

22nd Mar - We're closing out the season with Jackson Ford! The man who got "sh*t" into the title of multiple books, is now writing about bone-wearing raiding clans, and delights in getting fans to proclaim cheese as their god (quite rightly, too) is returning!
@realjacksonford.bsky.social

8th Mar - Charlotte Bond's writing wanders the lands of fantasy, horror, gothic and speculative fiction. Her latest novellas, The Fireborne Blade and The Bloodless Princess, have women with swords and a cat dragon! Perfect, no notes.
@bookdragonauthor.bsky.social

22nd Feb - we have Thomas D Lee to tell us all about his debut, Perilous Times, a contemporary take on the King Arthur tales that sees the Knights of the Round Table trying to fix modern problems, and perhaps we'll even get a taste of the upcoming prequel...
@thomasdlee.bsky.social

8th Feb - after a quick reschedule, Nicholas Eames is joining us to talk about epic quests and getting the band back together
@nicholaseames.bsky.social

25th Jan - Aliette de Bodard will be joining us to talk about everything from Xianxia-inspired space operas to dark Gothic fantasies set in a turn-of-the-century Paris devastated by a magical war and everything in between!
