Signing at Black Library Live!

The Black Library have recently announced a new event to add to the pantheon of conventions, signing tours and other gatherings of note for their authorial glitterati (okay, so that's going a little bit far).

Black Library Live! is, hopefully, the first of many events devoted to the novels and authors of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 fiction as published by the eponymous named house, under the auspice of tabletop games giant, Games Workshop.

For anyone who has ever attended one of Games Workshop's Games Days and Golden Demon events, this is akin to the novel version of that (although, the Black Library will be at the aforementioned events, too, of course). It's really a celebration of the authors and novels that make BLP so great and a HUGE 'thank you' to the legions of fans that have made them so successful over the last few years.

At Black Library Live! there promises to be a host of author talent, including the likes of Dan Abnett, Graham McNeill, James Swallow and Gav Thorpe.

You'll also get a chance to grill new BLP author Aaron Demski-Bowden.

Rounding off the talent list is my good self. I'll be there on the day, mainly in my capacity as an author to chat about Salamander, Fires of War (I am led to believe that Heroes of the Space Marines will be there to sign on the day, too) and Honourkeeper (which I'll be signing, an extract for which is now online and available through the Black Library website...).

The shape of the day comprises exclusive signings, Q+A sessions (where I will be putting my editor's hat on again, briefly), themed games and much more besides.

The event takes place at Warhammer World on the 11th of April, but tickets to it are limited and only available through the Black Library webstore and Games Workshop stores, so act soon or risk missing out.

Tickets are available to purchase from the 9th of February and even include a free novel into the price with a choice of either The Killing Ground (soft back), by Graham McNeill or Reiksguard, by Richard Williams.
