Hi Guys,
Just wanted to pass on the info on a couple of events I have coming up this Autumn - in a few weeks, I'll be at Birmingham Book Festival with 'DISCOVERING ALTERNATIVE GENRES', an evening event featuring authors Peter F Hamilton, Stan Nicholls, Janet Edwards and Mez Packer. I'll also be running a residential horror writing weekend, WINTER HORRORS, which has just two places left - best book soon if you fancy coming along!
Full details on both events below anyway - feel free to drop me a line here or at bfsalex@hotmail.co.uk if you want to get in touch!
Thanks a lot
Alex
