Creativity and the Kitchen

Gaie Sebold Posted on March 19, 2014 by Gaie herselfMarch 19, 2014

Finding Quiet

Gaie Sebold Posted on March 12, 2014 by Gaie herselfMarch 12, 2014

Gaie Sebold Posted on February 11, 2014 by Gaie herselfFebruary 11, 2014

The first time I heard the word geek it had something to do with biting the heads off chickens in a dodgy sideshow. (Apparently they swallowed them, too. I can’t help wondering if the heads, like the bodies, carry on … Continue reading →

#greatfirewallofcameron Christmas Challenge

Gaie Sebold Posted on December 22, 2013 by Gaie herselfDecember 22, 2013

Gosh we genre writers are a dangerous bunch – apparently. Last night my partner Dave Gullen and I discovered both our websites were blocked by O2, under their ‘Parental Guidance‘ controls. A few tweets established that other genre writers, such as … Continue reading →

Andromeda One

Gaie Sebold Posted on September 24, 2013 by Gaie herselfSeptember 24, 2013

Spent a delightful Saturday at Andromeda One – a brand new baby con, run by the indefatigable Theresa Derwin. Who almost certainly cloned herself to get it all done. For a one-day con it managed to pack in an extraordinary … Continue reading →
