Author signing

[James Swallow]

Just an FYI for anyone at the MCM London Comic Con this Saturday - I'll be signing books at the Black Library stand (booth 1102) - I'm there for my Warhammer 40,000 / Horus Heresy publisher, but I'm more than happy to sign Star Trek stuff too!

More details here: http://jamesswallow.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/im-at-mcm-london-comic-con-london_21.html


Also - note to mods: maybe we could have a sticky thread for this kind of thing, so in future we writers can tell folks where we're appearing at conventions and suchlike?

Cool, unfortunately I'm stuck here in the USA.

This is an excellent idea.

For TrekLit fans in the NY area this might be interesting (from David Mack's blog:

Saturday, November 2 from 7PM–10PM
33–17 Crescent St., Astoria, NY 11106

Join me and my friends Keith R.A. DeCandido and Aaron Rosenberg for an evening of Star Trek-themed readings, a signing session for our books old and new, and a panel discussion about the past, present, and future of Trek literature.

What’s the occasion, you ask? The premiere of my latest Star Trek novel, The Fall, Book III: A Ceremony of Losses!

This medical techno-thriller pits Doctor Julian Bashir against, well, just about everybody in his latest quixotic mission to do the right thing.

SPECIAL GIVEAWAY!
With each copy of A Ceremony of Losses purchased at Enigma Bookstore during the signing event, get a FREE COPY of my Star Trek: Typhon Pact novel Zero Sum Game, which set up the Julian Bashir/Sarina Douglas story that continues now in The Fall. (First come, first served; offer good only while supplies last.)

PLUS!
Get an advance sneak peek at next spring’s hottest new title, The Klingon Art of War by Keith R.A. DeCandido!

This is going to be a fun night full of Trek-ish awesomeness. So swing by — and bring a friend!

Wow, that sounds like fun. Really makes me wish I didn't live all the way on the other side of the country.

Will do - as soon as I have a minute

^ Sounds like it's in the works, but just wanted to add my 2-cents worth - a sticky for author signings is a great idea!

The signing at the Enigma Bookstore went really well, despite losing one of the participants. Aaron Rosenberg was feeling very sick and didn't think that showing up at an enclosed space with lots of people was such a hot idea. He was semi-adequately replaced by Glenn Hauman, who joined me and David Mack for a lovely evening of readings, Q&A, signings, eating, drinking, and conversation.

Glenn read Chapter 2 of his collaborative Trek endeavor, the S.C.E. story Creative Couplings, which he wrote with Aaron.

Dave followed that lighthearted scene with the very depressing prologue to the book he was premiering at the signing, The Fall: A Ceremony of Losses.

And I finished it off with a reading from the First Precept from the upcoming The Klingon Art of War.

After that we answered a mess of questions, and then ate and drank from the lovely spread the owners of Enigma -- the mighty Claire and Hugh -- provided. Much conversation was had, many books were sold and signed, and a good time was had by all. Oh, and folks got to look at the exclusive preview of The Klingon Art of War, including the cover, the front matter, the introduction, and the First Precept (complete with spiffy artwork).
