Ahead of the Eastercon weekend, we have a sociable gathering, including some readings from notable authors, including Andrew Wallace and Stephen Oram. Should be a relaxed and convivial evening, all welcome. Come and join us!
Once again, thanks to Chad Dixon for providing these links. This was a superbly fun interview, well worth a watch or listen. And don't forget to check out F.D. Lee's and Andrew's books!
Video replay here.
High quality audio file here.
This month’s guest is fantasy novelist F.D. Lee, author of the Pathways Tree series, The Fairy's Tale and ghost story The Academy. Faith had a childhood that many geeks would envy as she grew up in a comic shop.
F.D. Lee will be interviewed by Andrew Wallace, author of the Diamond Roads series of novels, which follow the challenges facing Charity Freestone and her family in 24th Century Diamond City.
Following stage productions of his plays ‘Byron’ and ‘The Scissors Angel’ Andrew’s Radio 4 play, ‘Burn Your Phone’ was nominated for a Writer’s Guild Award and turned into a film on BBC2 starring and directed by Alan Cumming. He followed commissions for the feature-length script of acclaimed short ‘The Cutter’ and an adaptation of the novel ‘As Good As It Gets’ with the BBC7 show ‘Wonderworld’ and wrote regularly for Radio 4’s flagship comedy ‘Look Away Now’. He has produced three Edinburgh shows including ‘The Free Three’ and ‘Seething Is Believing’ and created the ‘Vengeance’ and ‘Bloody Mary’ shows for the London Dungeon.
