MantiCon 2019

This weekend I will be in Germany, at a castle near Heppenheim, for MantiCon 2019. Mantikore-Verlag are celebrating the 10th anniversary of this intimate gamebook convention, and I am one of the guests attending, along with the likes of Russ Nicholson, Gary Chalk, Ben Dever and Vinzent Lazzari.

On Friday afternoon, from 5-6pm, I will giving a talk about my word, with the very capable German gamebook author Jens Schumacher moderating and translating for the non-English speakers. I also expect to sign one or two copies of Alice im Düsterland over the course of the weekend.

So if you happen to be attending MantiCon yourself, do come over and say "Hallo!"

Gamebook Friday: Forthcoming Gamebook Events

I had a great time at the UK Games Expo 2019, last weekend, and it was great to see so many of you there. Although the Expo is usually the biggest event in my calendar I have some more gamebook-related events coming up, one of which is particularly close to my heart.

Four weeks tomorrow on Saturday 6th July I will be in Oxford for Alice's Day, and giving a lecture* at the Weston Library about Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland.

In August, I will be a guest of Manticon, in Germany, from Thursday 15th - Sunday 18th August.

And not long after that, I will be attending* Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 on Saturday 31st August, at the University of West London in Ealing.

* Or should that be 'running'?

Gamebook Friday: Forthcoming Gamebook Events

Just seven weeks from today, I will be attending the UK Games Expo at the NEC in Birmingham. I will also be launching NEVERLAND - Here Be Monsters! there on Saturday 1st June (although it will be on sale on the Friday too), and selling and signing my other ACE Gamebooks throughout the weekend.

And then on Saturday 6th July I will be in Oxford for Alice's Day, and giving a lecture* at the Weston Library about Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland.

And then in August, I will be a guest of Manticon, in Germany, from Thursday 15th - Sunday 18th August.

And not long after that, it's Fighting Fantasy Fest 3 on Saturday 31st August, at the University of West London in Ealing.

And after that? We'll have to wait and see, but I will be at Dragonmeet in London, come December.


* i.e. - a talk.
