Hi all,
Progress on our new website is proceeding apace, and what you see alongside this post, as previously threatened, is the current draft of our new logo. Or rather, several drafts. What do you think?

Hi all,
I'm back! Many thanks to Jane for stepping in and sending out last week's notification: I was in darkest Yorkshire, where there turned out to be less wi-fi than I was expecting. I return refreshed, relaxed, and keen to encourage as many people as possible to read The Core of the Sun...

Evening all,
I'm just back from this year's UK Eastercon (aka Mancunicon), which as far as I can tell went reasonably smoothly (give or take some frustratingly small programme rooms, and the obligatory one panel that went off the rails in an unfortunate way), and at which I met at least one Pa...

Evening all --
Something of an update-on-the-run this week, since I'm currently travelling for day-job-related reasons. But we have a new issue, and it contains good things! Specifically it contains Mar...

If I've counted correctly, this is the first five-Monday February since 1988; which is significant for no particular reason, but is a nice piece of trivia.
We're not letting the occasion go to waste, at any rate: 2016-02-29 22:45:30 +0000 UTC View Post
In the belly of the behemoth, her hand arced loosely over the nerve bundle, the diver switches off her lamp, and two meters of murky green visibility drops instantly to perfect black. The touch of her hand against the rail is her only landmark. She deftly fixes her wetsuit's tether there... 2016-02-22 22:23:56 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi all,
A slight change to our usual running order this week, and a bit of a non-fiction bonanza. This week our feature is Graeme Macdonald's Pioneer Award-winning essay on the energy of science fiction (pr...

Welcome to December! Well, OK, most of you have presumably been in December for about a week at this point, but we've only just got here. It's a bit of a compressed month for us, because we only publish three issues (we skip the last week of the year), but have nearly the full complement of material...
