Mark: The first Adrian Tchaikovsky story I read was "Precious Little Things" published at Tor.com. The short story was accompanied by artwork of a puppet commissioned by the publisher. Now the artist is putting the puppet up for sale.

Here's a link to the short story which is a prequel to a novella "Made Things" also published by Tor.com Both are good reads!

BARE YOUR SWORD

TRP:

In Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels there is a wizard called Ponder Stibbons who designs an Ant computer called Hex.

Hex was shown in the TV adaptation of the Hogfather (2006) and it sported the label ""Anthill Inside

Ruth:

On a non-fisting note, I would like to say that I have met Adrian Tchaikovsky at a few conventions and, while he looks kind of intimidating (especially when he’s wielding a sword) he’s actually a lovely guy. "

This article, by Adrian himself, has a picture of Adrian Tchaikovsky smiling. For Veronica whose observation about him always looking serious, made me laugh :-)
