Do you want to meet a real-life author, blinking in the daylight as they escape the garret where they’re scribbling away between cups of tea and too many biscuits? Come to one of these events in 2026 to buy my books, get them signed or just say hello.
The best thing about these events is that you get to meet and browse books by loads of authors, sometimes across a wide range of genres, and we’re always pleased to meet people who enjoy reading.
At events in 2026, I’ll be adding more titles to the line-up, with an exclusive print edition of Blood Type. There might even be a new Nightmare Vacation by the end of the year!
And don’t forget, in-person events are the place to buy Blood Point: The Bloody Edition (cover art not available in ebook or on Amazon).
