Forbidden Planet London Small Press Expo

[Dan Jones]

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was finally launching Man O'War in March, and that there would be an event of some sort to coincide with that.

I am doing much rejoicing at the fact that the launch of MOW will be part of the Forbidden Planet Small Press Expo, at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Shaftesbury Avenue on Saturday 24th February at 13:00.

It'll be something of a Chrons knees up too, because I'll be joined by our very own @HareBrain and (I think, I assume) @chopper, who also will have their own fabulous books to sign and shift.

The event is listed here - Join our Small Press Expo! @ ForbiddenPlanet.com - UK and Worldwide Cult Entertainment Megastore - and will also be listed on Facebook sometime soon. There's also a Twitter hashtag doing the rounds - #smallpressbigstories

And I'm sure there will be beer and yet more rejoicing afterwards somewhere.

I saw that Man O'War cover somewhere and thought it looked great and didn't clock the name.

 

[HareBrain]

(I think, I assume) @chopper,

He'll be there, he told me. I'm really looking forward to it.

(And that Man O'War cover is so good. No doubt why Forbidden Planet put it top!)

 

[Dan Jones]

And that Man O'War cover is so good.

Thanks, though I can't take any credit (although I did say, "Oh my, that's awesome!" which I suppose counts as some form of creative control...).

I just came on to share this. The event popped up in my inbox via Forbidden Planet And Twitter. What a great mix of authors, guys. Have LOADS of fun, take LOADS of pictures.

-possibly also important- SELL LOTS OF BOOKS!

 

[Luiglin]

Excellent, have fun on the day

 

[Jo Zebedee]

It looks good- i’ve Flagged it to my publisher for next year.

Have fun!

 

[chopper]

should be good fun!

 

[HareBrain]

Just to remind everyone that this is tomorrow, from 1pm. What better way to spend a Saturday than wander along Shaftesbury Avenue, marvel at the drains-smell they never seem to fix, gawp at the £X00 action figures in Forbidden Planet's window and then pop down to the book-basement and get your hands on some wonderful books (maybe even ours).

 

[Dan Jones]

Everything the rabbit said. Plus the possibility of finding a pub afterwards and grabbing some post-event chatter and chow. It should be great fun.

 

[Luiglin]

Would have loved to come but got to prepare for a job interview on Monday. Have a great day

 

[Amelia Faulkner]

AH bollocks, February not March! Have fun, everyone SELL ALL THE BOOKS!

 

[millymollymo]

Party hard afterwards...right?

 

[crystal haven]

Have a great day!

 

[The Judge]

Hope it's a profitable and enjoyable day for you all. Good luck!

 

[HareBrain]

It's hardly likely to be profitable, given:
- train up
- taxi
- late breakfast at Cafe Royal
- cocktails at the Ritz afterwards to celebrate Dan's book launch
- misunderstanding with policeman in Piccadilly, necessitating cover-up bribes
- getting mugged whilst staggering around back streets of Fitzrovia
- various fines
- multiple kebabs
- funeral expenses

 

[The Judge]

Charge it all to Dan's account.

 

[chopper]

It was a good day! And l bought some books!

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Aww, come on -- nobody posting the pictures?

 

[Luiglin]

How'd it go?
