If anyone fancies them, I’ve got a pair to give away and on top of that, anyone who buys tickets for any of the literary panels over the weekend can have two for the price of one if they use the words AUTHOR BLOG when they book by telephone on 020 7451 9944. The offer is good until Friday 1st May but if you drop me a line before the weekend with your name and email address I’ll put you in the hat for the freebies to the panel I was on. I’m doing the 11am one on Sunday dealing with "The New Heroic Fantasy", and if that’s not enough of a draw two other Gollancz stalwarts will be there in the shapes of Joe Abercrombie and Stephen Deas, plus Adrian Tchaikovsky who I’m sure is just as nice a bloke as his agent tells me ;0)
