Well today @rdm 's first book of short stories #ShortStoriesFromADistractedMind is now available on all the usual electronic formats as well as in paper form at Boundless Books in Oxford Street, Leederville. He, and I'd be thrilled if you checked it out! Will you be the first to review?

It's a bunch of microfiction - flash fiction - with #ScienceFiction #Fantasy and even a little horror. He's also called me an editor, gosh.

So now #PerthWesternAustralia has one more writer. If you are going to #Swancon50 in just a few short weeks you could get a physical copy signed at the book launch.

Absolutely gobsmacked to receive not one, but two awards at the Swancon Art Show!

Both were for "The Infinite Library" - a little story kiosk project I thought up one evening, loaded up with all the little bits of fiction I have shared here.

Inside the library-shaped shell is a Raspberry Pi3 and a M02 thermal printer, along with some scripts that I wrote to randomly print a story on the press of a button concealed as a part of the roof.

I received the "Judges Selection" and "Technical Innovation" prizes.

A huge thank-you to the Swancon49 Committee and Guests who made up the judging panel.

I will be bringing the Library to any (and all) cons I attend in the future, so that everyone can have a little story to read any time they need one.

Lucas Findling, the Perth based designer of Raidents the boardgame, was good enough to come and demo his new game at Swancon this year.

It's an excellent game, very tactical, somewhat likened to playing chess with grenades. I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it.

The kickstarter has just launched.

Rifo's has nice gf pasta options. We didn't try the pizza.

After at The Rise, the usual chair wrangling, A/V stuff achieved and some sign-fu.

Now for a nice sleep and get over to Maylands earlyish in the morning.

See those of you who are able to make it there!

#swancon is on the 15th and 16th!

I'll be attending Western Australia's #Swancon 2023 this coming week. I have two panels, the first on how to produce audiobooks, the second on the "War of the Worlds in Real Time" which I am co-ordinating throughout June.

If anyone's going make sure you introduce yourself.
