Hello everyone!
It’s been a tough year for me personally - death, family illness - but I’m throwing myself deep into the Lokiverse as a distraction. Currently busy writing book 5 which may be Loki’s most chaotic adventure yet. It features a character who’s only appeared fleetingly so far and I can’t wait for you to meet her.
I’m also thinking a lot about book four because when this messy first draft is in the bag, I will be going ON TOUR to talk about it.
EDINBURGH
First up, I’m in Edinburgh with the fabulously talented Ramzee for The Big Draw Off - we will do battle, armed only with pens and our wits. And we’re all outta wits.
We did a version of this event in London recently and it was so much fun. This time Pamela Buchart will be our host-slash-referee. Bring your most ludicrous suggestions of things to draw - this is VERY much an audience participation gig. We might even get a child or two up to the front to draw too.
LONDON
Saturday 14th September, 2pm
Kensington Central Library Lecture Hall, 12 Phillimore Walk, London , W8 7RX (round the corner from the Waterstones Kensington shop)
I’m excited to be doing my very first Superfan event. What is a superfan event you ask? It’s where readers who’ve been following Loki’s antics for a while can be among like-minded lovers of chaos and win prizes. There will, of course, be chaos, doodling and perhaps a little acting for those brave enough to volunteer.
Tickets here - and they include a special sprayed-edge Waterstones exclusive edition:
BATH
Saturday October 5th, 3pm at the Assembly Rooms, Bath
In October, I’ll be at the Bath literary festival. It’s always a great atmosphere and Loki would look FABULOUS in a Jane Austen heroine costume (I imagine, I haven’t drawn him doing that yet…but there’s an idea. Loki meets Bridgerton?)
I’ll be popping up for signings in Staines and Altrincham in September plus an event at Waterstones Canterbury at the end of October. But more about those soon! One more thing before I go. FREE STUFF!
