Fantasy in the Court 2013

On March 28th, Goldsboro Books of London will be hosting a party/gathering themed around the release of The Grim Company. Guests will include fantasy authors, agents, publishers, noted bloggers, and anyone else who fancies coming along and rubbing shoulders with the greats, the not-so-greats, and the frankly non-entities (i.e. me). There will be drinks and merriment and good conversation to be had. I expect some books will also get signed.

This will hopefully be the first in an annual meet-up. It's a free event, so why not add your name to the list?




Talking about Goldsboro Books, last Thursday I was at that very bookstore signing copies of The Grim Company. 250 to be exact, all signed, dated and carefully numbered on a special page unique to Goldsboro and wrapped in a protective removable film. You can purchase one of these limited edition books here - but you'll need to be quick, as they're apparently flying off the shelves.

It turns out Peter V. Brett had also been at Goldsboro recently signing copies of his new novel The Daylight War, which were piled everywhere. It was a surreal experience to find myself sitting in exactly the same chair doing exactly the same thing as an internationally successful author like Peter V. Brett. I'm sure the novelty will wear off soon and I'll quickly regard the prospect of signing a shedload of books with about as much enthusiasm as unblocking the toilet, but for now it's all good fun ...

  1. I'm there, Luke. Although, I'm only coming in the hope that Abercrombie turns up and challenges you to single combat to determine whether or not Grimdark is still a pejorative term. ;-)

  2. If he shows up and dares challenge me, I'll cut him down where he stands.
