Off to the World Fantasy Convention

In a few minutes Lin and I set off for the World Fantasy Convention in Brighton, so there'll be no more blogs till we get back. Early next week I'll be publishing a detailed report here of our experiences, including loads of photos.

Getting Ready For the WFC

My last day at work this week and it's all about getting ready for going to Brighton tomorrow morning for the start of the World Fantasy Convention. The weather looks good today, and I hope it stays that way for the next few days!

Other than attending various program events as a member of the audience and taking photos, I only have one commitment, and that's the Shadow Publishing book launch on Friday afternoon at 2.00 p.m. for, amongst others, my short story collection The Lurkers in the Abyss and Other Tales of Terror. Sorry to have just learned that the only other author who was due to be there, Samantha Lee, won't be able to make it. That just leaves Dave Sutton and me.

World Fantasy Con 2013 - Brighton

The World Fantasy Convention in Brighton starts this Thursday. Lin and I are setting off first thing Thursday morning to reach the convention hotel, The Brighton Hilton, in the early afternoon for what promises to be an eventful weekend.

Appropriately, our first night there will be Hallowe'en. I have only one commitment on my time there: the Shadow Publishing books launch on Friday afternoon at 2.00 o'clock. Alongside my own short story collection, The Lurkers in the Abyss and Other Tales of Terror, Shadow Publishing will be launching Samantha Lee's Worse Things Than Spiders and Eddy C. Bertin's The Whispering Horror. There will also be copies of David Sutton's Phantoms of Venice. Plus wine and soft drinks for buyers while they get their copies signed.

Other than this I intend to enjoy listening to as many of the panels, speeches and talks being held at the convention as I possibly can. I'll also be taking lots of photos for a report on the convention afterwards on this blog.

Shadow Publishing Book Launch at the World Fantasy Convention

Shadow Publishing will be launching four books at the World Fantasy Convention on Friday the 1st November. The event, which includes complementary wine, will be from 2 till 3 p.m.

The books launched will be:

•  The Lurkers in the Abyss and Other Tales of Terror (David A. Riley)

World Fantasy Convention 2013

Booked what we were told was the last available double bedroom at the convention hotel this afternoon for the World Fantasy Convention in Brighton next year. Whew! Would have hated to have to go for one of the overspills.

The convention hotel, The Hilton Brighton Metropole, looks brilliant.

World Fantasy Convention 2013

I have booked us both for the World Fantasy Convention in 2013, which will be held in Brighton. I don't think I have ever booked so far in advance for a convention before, but the list of attendees is growing steadily and I want to have a good chance of booking into the convention hotel.
