Another fantastic steampunk weekend, this time at The Commandery in Worcester; and a fuller report will be forthcoming next week as it was fairly late by the time I got unpacked and sorted yesterday!
As usual, though, Steven C. Davis and I encountered a truly splendiferous group of people, who came along to our workshops, stopped and chatted at our stand, and even bought a couple of books....
Were you one of those intrepid book buyers? Have you started reading yet? Or perhaps you're one of the lovely folk we encountered at a previous event, and already have read your copy... if so, then this mission is for YOU!

That's right, lovely people, The Automata Wars needs you! And so do all the other books from The Last Line publishing house, and from all the other small independent publishing houses too.
Small publishers have correspondingly small marketing budgets. So to be successful, they need a couple of things. Firstly - good books, naturally. But secondly - support from readers who enjoy those books. So if you HAVE enjoyed a publication from a small publisher, then please tell others. You can share links on your facebook, twitter, google +, forum of choice, or any other media platform I've forgotten about. You can post reviews of said tomes on Goodreads or Amazon, or other book related pages. And hopefully, other people will read what you've written, or see what you've shared, and be tempted to have a look for themselves...
Thanks for sharing!
