On Saturday the 18th September Robert will be at Forbidden Planet London signing his newest novel - The Japanese Devil Fish Girl and other Unnatural Attractions.

As is the tradition all those coming are invited to join us in the local hostelry (The Angel) for a couple of beers after the signing BUT there's more :) We will be moving from The Angel and heading for Brentford where we will re-group at The Flying Swan (The Magpie and Crown) where the drinking of ale and talking of toot will continue into the wee small hours AND Robert will be launching and signing copies of his brand-new Bumper Book of Ficts :) complete with limited edition book plate :O8)

More details will follow and it will be great to see as many of you there as can make it.

That is just sooooo tempting. If only I didnt have two weddings in the next two months to go to. I could always just tell the sister in law to bugger off, she is onto her third after all so its not like its anything new to her. I'll put this one down as a definite maybe, after all getting there is free for me, its the staying there that is a tad expensive.

Sounds good to me, I'll have to check that I can get the time off & sort somewhere to stay.

What time will the Forbidden Plannet signing be?

Re: Book signing event

no confirmed timing from me yet Andi - I'll check this and will include in an update asap. On past events I would reckon 1300-1400Hrs..

Ale you say? And toot? In the company of sprouts* you say? Hmmm, it's a definite possibility...

Okay, the books are
THE JAPANESE DEVIL FISH GIRL AND OTHER UNNATURAL ATTRACTIONS
and
THE BUMPER BOOK OF FICTS
and it would be extremely nice to see as many of you as possible at either the signing in Forbidden Planet at 1PM, or the launch and signing at The Magpie and Crown around 7PM, or both.

Re: Book signing event

Myself and the good lady are going to move heaven and earth to be there. I could always sell one of my internal organs on the black market to raise funds. They should be worth at least a tenner. Mind you I still have my old bow to sell... anyone fancy buying a Merlin Max 3000 compound bow?

I'll take a liver if it's going  :)

Though for a tenner I'd expect a couple of lungs as well }:)

Hows your car going, Iain? My bugger's falling to pieces, I think you did well not buying it!

Now this sounds fun! I'm in, and it looks like I can get some reasonably cheap rail tickets too Smiling

If you manage that, can you let me know how you did it? I'll probably be stopping "down South" for the evening and getting a train back on Sunday. While I'm happy to kip on a floor somewhere, I hear that there's gangs of organ-harvesters attending...

I have a solution! Wheel it out onto the lawn, remove some important bits, then sit on the porch playing a banjo.

It's all the rage, you know! Eye-wink

Then you could buy this beauty.
