Forbidden Planet, Australia, Dubai

Details for a few forthcoming events. The UK tour for Half a King was but seven months ago, so we’re not doing a full tour this time around, just the one UK event at Forbidden Planet London, who have supported me with every book I’ve brought out, right back to The Blade Itself:

Sunday 8th February, 13.00-14.00, Forbidden Planet London, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, WC2H 8JR

I may read and talk a little beforehand, but the space isn’t ideal so we’ll see how it goes.  I can’t promise to sign anything you don’t buy on the day, but I will try to as long as you buy something, and given that it’s a lunchtime event I expect I’ll fit everything in.

If you can’t make the event, I believe you can also order signed stock from Forbidden Planet at the bargain price of £9.99.  You could probably even arrange a dedication…

THEN, shortly thereafter in February I will be touring Australia, with events in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, and Perth. Details:

Sydney

Friday 13th February, 16.30-18.00, Dymocks 424-430 George St

For further information on exactly what’s happening, you’re best off contacting the venues or events.

Interview with Edoardo Rialti

Here’s an interview focusing on Half a King conducted by my brilliant Italian translator, Edoardo Rialti. The Italian translation can be found over here.  But I thought I’d put the English version up for those of you (like me) whose Italian is a little rusty… Once in Italy you introduced your “First Law Trilogy” as […]

ConFusion Detroit 2015

So I’m going to be over in the US of A later this week at ConFusion in Detroit as a guest of the wonderful Subterranean Press.  I think it was 3 years ago I was last there, and it’s a great small con with an informal atmosphere and a lot of writers around.  Plus there’s […]
