April 21 2009: I’m not sure if contracts have been fully exchanged yet, but given that Czech publisher Polaris is listing it on their site, it seems a good time to say that the publishing house in question is going to release a Czech language edition of Angelglass, which is particularly gratifying as the novel is, of course, set in Prague. More details as I get them. (Scroll down the page on the above link and you’ll see me sandwiched between Neal Asher and Neil Gaiman).

Thanks to everyone who came along to the panel SF as Protest Literature on the Saturday afternoon at Eastercon… and thanks especially for not heckling! Though with a panel including Jon Courtenay Grimwood, John Clute, David Lloyd and Gareth L Powell, moderating wasn’t exactly an onerous task…
