'What's that? Did I hear you ask what romance has to do with anything, little Cousin? You do surprise me. Why Romance is Story itself, nothing less than that. Romance is the tale with which a cunning man winkles out a widow's secrets and an honest one breaks his beloved's heart. Romance locks us away and sets us free, brings us great pleasure and also great pain, is the thread which binds all other stories together. Dear me, little Cousin, I expected better of you...' — Godfather Valentine, Dresden, 1928 * Dave Hoskin (Short Trips: Transmissions) * Philip Purser-Hallard (Of the City of the Saved…, Peculiar Lives, Iris Wildthyme & the Celestial Omnibus) * Stuart Douglas (Miss Wildthyme and Friends Investigate, The Obverse Book of Ghosts) * Matt Kimpton (Chief Skald of Suffolk) * Jon Dennis (The Book of the War, Bernice Summerfield: Secret Histories) * Jay Eales (Factor Fiction) * Ian Potter (No Tomatoes, Short Trips, Rise and Rise of the Independents) * Daniel O’Mahony (Falls the Shadow, Newtons Sleep, Cabinet of Light) * David N Smith (Bernice Summerfield: Collected Works) and Violet Addison (Short Trips – How The Doctor Changed My Life) * Scott Harrison (Voices From The Past, Dark Fiction's Twelve Days) * James Milton (Short Trips: Transmissions) * Blair Bidmead (The Panda Book of Horror)
