A week of talks

is what I have before me. It starts tomorrow in Swindon, before heading cross-country to Lincoln for a talk the following afternoon. Obviously the drive isn’t that far but it takes a while to pack up the show and get my entourage loaded up – think several coaches emblazoned with the book’s cover, in-coach sleeping areas, dieticians, a make-up team, pyrotechnics, sound engineers etc. In Lincoln I’ll be talking about eccentrics rather than groups, and the following day the nationwide tour marches on London for a homecoming gig at the Big Green Bookshop. Very much hope to see you at one of these.

p.s. turns out that some authors really do live like this. Here’s the bus used by Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl books (image from babygotbooks blog).
