Bags of books at Southcart!

8/10/2014

0 Comments

 
Tomorrow sees the launch of the UK's annual 'Books are my Bag' campaign, which celebrates bookshops across the country.  The three day festival begins on 9th October which is apparently one of the busiest days in the publishing calendar - presumably as publishers gear up for xmas purchases.  And it culminates on Saturday October 11th with Big Bookshops Parties with An Author in Every Bookshop!

Scott and Amy at Southcart Books, Walsall - one of the few independent bookshops in the West Midlands -  have, of course, gone one better.  They're not content with just An Author in their Bookshop.  They've got ten lined up for you.  Ten, that's right, count 'em.  Using ALL your fingers (and your thumbs).

Not only that, but they've only gone and asked me to host the event.  That's right, it'll be my cutting edge witticisms* that introduce the range of attendees, from poets, to Young Adult writers, to publishers, to eroticists (!), to science fiction, fantasy and steampunk writers and more.   AND you get to hear me do another reading as well, you lucky people!

Free entry.  Free refreshments.  Ten authors (not three, or one).  Readings, talks and signings, and the opportunity to browse the well-stocked shelves of Southcart Books.  How can you possible resist...?  Well, you can't, that's how.  Get yourselves along to Southcart Books on Saturday.  You've been told!

*That's what my mum says.**
** If I pay her.

And another thing...
Don't forget that this week, the Gothic Alternative Steampunk and Progressive (GASP) web radio show, only on BLAST1386 (listening is easy via Tune-in) has moved to THURSDAY - tune in tomorrow 8pm-10pm UK...

    I'm a writer of steampunk/ fantasy fiction, singer/musician and writer at LM Cooke Music, singer in the parody band Mediaeval Biaetches, occasional historian,  and co-presenter of the Gothic Alternative Steampunk and Progressive web radio show.  Here I will ramble vaguely about stuff.  Friends, countrymen, and people who aren't countrymen, lend me your ears...
