Hay-on-Wye? Is that some kind of sandwich?

Hey guys!

Haye-on-Wye was amazing! There were all these famous authors and journalists everywhere, and I heard these great authors speak! And I got loads of cool stuff!

Let's break it down - and if anyone else is now hearing bad 90s rap in their heads, you're not the only ones.

Sounds like you had a great time. Did you take any pics?

My daughter met Eoin Colfer several years ago at a workshop he did for children's writing, she even managed to get him to autograph our copy of Artemis Fowl.

He autographed my copy of Artemis Fowl too! It's pretty battered - it's second edition hardback, and I've read it enough times that the spine's completely messed up. You should have seen his face - first he asked me if I'd thrown it across the room, and then he twigged that spine damage specifically meant it had been open and read a lot. He was pleased as punch and extremely adorable for a man in his forties!

I didn't take any pics - my friend took a couple, including one of us standing next to the "Town of Books" sign.
