As is traditional, both readers were put to the question after their sessions. Obviously you won't have heard the material that Will read, but if you take a look at the books he has available on Amazon you should get the idea.

Gareth is asked about writing space opera and bad poetry. The latter is bravely demonstrated. You have been warned.

We had something of a recording malfunction (or more accurately a recorder operator malfunction) at our February meeting which resulted in our losing the first reading. Our sincere apologies to Will Macmillan Jones. We have a short piece of poetry from him in the Q&A, and he's back in our open mic session which will be uploaded here in July.

Our second reader for February was Gareth L. Powell. As everyone in Bristol has all of his Ack-Ack Macaque books, Gareth chose to read something new. This reading is the opening two chapters of a forthcoming, currently only provisionally titled, space opera novel.
