Jessica Rydill
 writes fantasy and collects Asian Ball Jointed Dolls, or BJD. Many are based on characters from her books. In her spare time she haunts National Trust properties and visits English parish churches in search of Green Men, Shelagh na Gigs and Misericords, and any traces of mediaeval art or sculpture.

  1. Thank you Cora and Jessica for the head's up that brought several of us from the FB Noiraverse (through Carol McDonnell) to WorldCon this year. I had such a wonderful time (after I nailed down the time zone issues XD) and really look forward to next year. Thanks again!

    1. Hi Penelope,

      I'm glad to hear that you had a great time at Worldcon. And yes, the time zone issue was a problem, though for me the calculations were not too bad, because New Zealand is exactly 10 hours ahead of my time.
