Steaming across the universe...

Fellow author & GASP host Steven C. Davis and I spent last weekend at the National Space Centre in Leicester, for the second Steampunks in Space event.  The writing contingent was strongly represented, and included my publisher, James ‘Arkwright’ Snee of The Last Line Publishing House; EA Stokes, a fellow Last Line author; Kit Cox, aka Major Jack Union; Toby Frost, creator of Space Captain Smith; and Rod Duncan, a writer of crime and creator of the 'gas-lit Empire'.

As well as presenting our ‘Star Wars IV – Steampunk’d’ Workshop, Steven and I also took part in author’s Q&A sessions and chatted to a large number of interested people on our stand over the weekend.  The unusual venue provided a great ambiance – although we did have to occasionally help out with torches when people were looking at books; it was a smidgeon dark at times.

Many thanks to the event organisers and to all the staff at the Space Centre who were very solicitous throughout the day; in testament the event ran smoothly and – almost unheard of – almost exactly to time in every way.  Precision management at its finest!  And thanks also to the people who came along to the workshops or Q&As, or stopped for a chat at the stand.  A most excellent event indeed!

The next event - and probably our last before Xmas - is on Saturday 13th December, back at Southcart Books, Walsall, our favourite bookshop.

Southcart are having a 'Festive Fantasies' event, with authors and readings.  It's free entry, and free nibbles too!  More info coming very soon...

And finally for now – keep your eyes peeled for a festive freebie!  Festive in the sense that it’s being given away at this time of year, that is; it might not actually be all that festive in itself.  Watch this space... (well, next week’s space, actually...)
