I’m gutted- I’m leaving Oxford for Manchester that day, visiting from the US for a conference. I’d love to hear you speak!

The house with the spider by Mt. Tabor Park goes all out for the holidays

Counterpoint: SGU was my favorite series in the franchise, in no small part due to your work. You made the frustrations that Eli felt very real in a way that spoke to me. Thank you!
