The dinner party in "The Nightmare Stacks". Alex, a CS nerd (turned vampire) is visiting his very conventional middle-class parents: he takes his new girlfriend Cassie (an elven spy who is helping to pave the way for an invasion) on the back of his borrowed ... conveyance. Then they discover his sister has brought her girlfriend too, and the misconceptions start to spiral ...

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 22: What inspiration have you taken from historical figures or events?Tons! As Ken Macleod observed, "history is the SF author's secret weapon".I'm currently grappling with a space opera where the adversary is based on Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln, only I'm having to tone him down a bit to make him more plausible!https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ignaz_Trebitsch_Lincoln

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 20 - What role does death (or undeath!) play in your work?I write genre fiction and it is *surprisingly hard* to write a novel in which nobody dies; death tends to be trivialized or used to advance the plot and seldom traumatizes the survivors.To which I say, to hell with that!(Current WIP massacres with gleeful abandon, but it's SF set in a future with lossy mind uploading and replay, so they've effectively got mechanised reincarnation. Societal whackiness ensues.)

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 4: What's a sure sign an author is a master of their craft?Whenever you read a new book/story by this author, it still manages to surprise you.(Consider Terry Pratchett as an example. He managed to write 40-something Discworld books without becoming repetitive or formulaic. It's easy to write a series that follows a set template: it's much harder to avoid pandering to the reader's preconceptions.)

It's a losing battle, and it's one that isn't worth fighting in the first place, because the only people you're trying to convince are ones who *can't even recognize decent writing when they see it*. They're people who can say, with a straight face, that *lists of three* are signs of AI‽ As if they haven't heard every Tom, Dick, and Harry talk about "baseball, motherhood and apple pie" or "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" before? 5/6#WritersCoffeeClub
