I know this is a work night but hopefully a few of you will be able to make it for a few drinks ... if you can make it let me know here or drop me a line silky@brianlumley.com

 

Cheers All!

DC and I would love to have been able to make it.

Alas we will no longer be in London but enjoying ourselves in sunny Newcastle.

 

Hope you all have a great time.

 

LL

Should be OK for me.

 

I finish work in north London at 5pm, so if anyone wants to meet in town before heading up to the signing, send me an email or a text message.

alas!, too far away for moi, i'd love to go!!!

 

if it was a friday i'd have had a shot!

 

I'll be there - obviously will I be able to get a copy there??? and do you know if any other authors will be there? you know, just in case I have something that wants signing.

I've updated the information above so every thing you need to know will now be there.

I might be able to make it down for the day! I'll know nearer the time. I wouldn't mind a day trip to London.

 

Sophie

It will be nice to see anyone who can make it. Nick Austin and Keith Grant-Evans will be there as well.

Well obviously I won't be able to make it. But I hope everyone has a great time.

it's worth a try, have to see though cos i'd probly have to make school again the next day. will investigate...

Me and mazrah Should be able to make this. GG we will give you a call in the next week or so.

As much as I'd love to go I won't be able to either but enjoy yourselves all of you who can!

Oh dear. I find myself being drawn to the capital already. We only just left there 2 weeks ago and as we are on a permanent holiday at the moment, we will be there (Hopefully).

hey man I hope you can both make it

Does anyone want to meet up before the signing for a pint and a bite to eat?

 

Saves me having to go all the way home then back out into town again!

I could be persuaded to do this I could even meet you on the way down at Archway, if you like?

Tried to get some time off work for this .. to no avail!! Ah well hope you have a good time you guys.... anyone know when this books due for publication?

Tops, sounds good to me... just let me know what time... I finish at 5pm but that's pretty flexible.

 

Lupa... can't you throw a sickie?

yeah, I can finish at 5 at a push, so I could meet you at archway at about 5.15... sound good?

 

otherwise, it'll be 5.45.....

Have fun people, please be all healthy and happy for me. I've got the flu again..

 

Sophie

Well as I've already said I won't be able to go but if anyone is thinking about it and hasn't made up their mind yet I say go, I have the old version of this book and it's great,the new one sounds even better though with all the extras you'll be getting

Tops, 5:15pm sounds fine!

Okay it looks like me and mazrah will be going, so we will meet you guys for a drink and bite to eat

 

just tell us where to meet and we will be there.

Yep, it's the actual launch so you'll be able to buy a book in situ, hence you only have to pay £1.00 entrance fee rather than £2.50.

 

See you all there!
