Gamebook Friday: ACE Gamebooks at Somerset Comic Con

This weekend I will be at the Somerset Comic Con and Gaming Festival, on Saturday 30 April 2022, at the Wellsprings Leisure Centre in Taunton.

I will be selling signed copies of my ACE Gamebooks, including Dracula - Curse of the Vampire, in both paperback and hardback formats. So, if you happen to be in Taunton this weekend, or live in the surrounding area, why not drop by on and say hello? You can find out more about the event here, and buy tickets here.

Gamebook Friday: Alice in the New Forest

Earlier this week, on our way to the coast for a couple of days, three quarters of Family Green stopped off at Lyndhurst in the New Forest, for a spot of lunch and a walk. Said walk took us through Lyndhurst itself and past the church of St Michael and All Angels, where a certain Mrs Reginald Hargreaves is buried.

The Hargreaves family plot in the churchyard.

Why am I sharing this information with you? Because before she married profressional cricketeer Reginald Hargreaves, Mrs Hargreaves' maiden name was Liddell, and her Christian name was Alice.

Naturally, just down the hill from the church are the Mad Hatter Tea Rooms. I mean, why wouldn't they be?

If you have yet to experience Alice's Nightmare in Wonderland, the original ACE Gamebook, you can pick up a copy here. I will also have some signed copies for sale at the Somerset Comic Con at the end of the month.

Somerset Comic Con and Gaming Festival is a new one for me, but I will be there a month today, on Saturday 30 April 2022, at the Wellsprings Leisure Centre in Taunton.

This will be the first event at which I am selling Dracula - Curse of the Vampire. The next, assuming I don't sell out at Somerset Comic Con, will be the UK Games Expo in June.

So, if you live in Taunton, or the surrounding area, why not drop by on and say hello? You can find out more about the event here, and buy tickets here.
