Bugman's Signing - been and gone, sorry!

There was an impromptu signing session in Bugman's Bar at Games Workshop HQ last week. I was sat alongside none other than Graham McNeill and Gav Thorpe. Wedged between two such luminaries of the Black Library I humbly signed copy and copy of Tales of Heresy (of which I was the editor, together with Lindsey Priestley), but also got through a fair few copies of Honourkeeper. This is my latest novel and was available only on the night in advance of its April release date for the hard working Games Workshop store managers.

It was very nice to see so much love for the book already, and folks actually eagerly awaiting its release! This was a genuine thrill for me, and I hope the reaction is the same when it comes out officially. If so, I shall certainly endeavour to write some more tales about the Sons of Grungni.

I also got a chance to have a chat about Assault on Black Reach: The Novel (also feeling the love) and my next project, Salamander.

I've actually not done that many signings (certainly not as many as the esteemed Mr McNeill and Mr Thorpe - who were awesome on the night, but then I suppose I am their editor... ;-)), so it was a genuine thrill to talk to folks about some the books I've written. A shout out goes to all the folks I met in Holland and he remembered me from the event (we had several Northern European managers over for the conference, too). I'm really glad that you got a lot out of BL's visit over that weekend and I very much hope to come again soon.

Anyway, apologies that not everyone who would have wanted to got to the event (given it was for GW managers only), but I'm sure there'll be other signings set up in the future when Honourkeeper is officially released. At the moment, I'm thinking about revisiting GW Grimsby (as it's my home town and I like to show some loyalty) and GW Nottingham/Warhammer World.

If you'd like to see me anywhere else just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

For those who missed it, he's a - admittedly murky - shot of the evening! (I'm the one in red, Graham has the pint and Gav is lurking somewhere behind my head - I'll have to remember to take my own snaps next time...)

I was just about to say that this wasn't advertised anywhere!

Ah well, the managers deserve a treat. Glad to hear Honourkeeper and Heroes... went down well.
