Well, I've been to 2 Neil Gaiman interviews in as many weeks, although I've not been to a signing. Maybe I'll sort out my copy of Fragile Things next year. It just didn't seem that urgent ( Read more... )

I went to see Neil Gaiman interviewing Susanna Clarke on Tuesday evening. (Sorry for the quality, my phone photos in auditoriums are notoriously bad.)

It's finals week. Crunch-time. I have 2 self-evaluations to write (I should be old hat at that by now, but no. Self-analysing has never been a fave of mine. It's difficult for me.), and two scripts + treatments to re-write.

The latest Forbidden Planet e-news-letter stated the following:

Saturday, 12th November, 1-2pm, Neil Gaiman will be signing 'Anansi Boys'.

Their website hasn't been updated to reflect this (the latest one being Terry Pratchett on Oct 22), so keep watching this space.

I wonder if he's going to sign at Harrods again.

Friday was a brilliant success! I arrived at 1030am at Harrod's to find that I was one of the few (20?) people there for the Neil Gaiman signing. Yay me! As I lurked around the Children's book section patiently awaiting Neil to grace us with his presence, I started chatting with a few other fans. John & Christian were great fun to talk to, and they ( Read more... )

Tomorrow morning, 11am, Neil Gaiman will be signing books at Harrods. That would be floor 2. Harrods has not advertised this. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it won't be a nightmare of lines lines lines. Because a nice quiet book signing would rock my happy little world ( Read more... )
