Signings

Good lord. Even before the Forbidden Planet signing, I was faced with this:

250 limited editions of Villjamur, for the wonderful bookstore Goldsboro Books, who, after slavishly forcing me through all those copies, rewarded me with wine. I had much fun. 200 of these have already been sold, so there are only a few left – get them while they’re hot, hot, hot!

Then, onto Forbidden Planet, to sign the pre-orders (rare for a new fantasy writer, I’m told) and then out to face what was a surprisingly large queue. I expected very few, but ended up signing for the whole hour, and then other things. Thanks to Liz and Graeme from review blogs, and to everyone else for coming along – I really do appreciate it. And to Julie and Chloe from Tor UK for ensuring I wasn’t going to be sitting on my own. And buying me beer afterwards.

    Sorry to have missed it!

    Shame you couldn’t have made it, Adam! No doubt I’ll see you at some other signing / convention in the future.

    Thanks for the signing (your comment is putting the pressure on with my own writing). I realised after that we were too busy talking about the Beirut gig and evil ticket touts to actually discuss the book.
    I’m only half-way through though and it would have been an epic faux pas if you managed to spoil your own book for me.

    LOL – that’d have been EPIC spoilage. Straight from the horse’s mouth as it were.

    There was a tidy turnout, I just wish I could have turned up a bit earlier and stuck around longer but as usual prior commitments got in the way…

    Neil: get writing! I’m still jealous of you for seeing Beirut.

    Alex: not to worry, you had a good excuse! Thanks for coming along anyway.

    Mark: I’m jealous you have a book in print that’s good, so I’d exchange my ticket buying skills for being able to sit down and write something decent!

    Alex: I could see Mark was tempted to spoil the book in revenge for me seeing beirut, so I ran off after the signing in case he realised the missed oppurtunity.
