Join me in this week's Author Diary as I explore new creative territories with a Space Western story, prepare for an exciting convention, and dive into some intriguing reads.

🌠 Writing a Space Western:

This week has been a thrilling ride as I've ventured into the realm of a Space Western, already hitting the 20,000-word mark. The process is as fun as it is challenging, weaving together elements of frontier lawlessness with futuristic sci-fi. While I'm still shaping the story's direction, the journey of crafting it is proving to be immensely enjoyable.

🎤 Gearing Up for Fantasycon:

I'm also gearing up for a busy weekend at Fantasycon in Chester. I'll be participating in four panels, discussing everything from genre nuances to character development. It's an opportunity I'm particularly excited about, as it allows me to meet fellow writers and fans, exchange ideas, and gain new insights.

📚 Reading Adventures:

On the reading front, I've finished "The KLF" by John Higgs, which delves into the eccentric and enigmatic music group known for their avant-garde antics. Inspired by this, I've started "Illuminatus" by Robert Anton Wilson, a complex and layered novel that promises to be as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

📅 Looking Forward:

As I prepare for the panels and continue my writing, I'm excited to see where both these adventures take me. The combination of discussing my craft with peers and pushing the boundaries of my creative work is what keeps this journey fascinating.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on blending genres like the Space Western, your experiences at conventions, or any transformative books you've read.
