We're pleased to announce our first open night – well afternoon – for 2010 taking place from 1pm until 5pm at the usual venue The George, 213 Strand, London, WC1R 2AP.

 

The guest speaker will be Lauren Beukes, a South African author, script writer and recovering journalist who occasionally falls off the wagon.


She is the author of Moxyland and Zoo City, published in the UK by those mechanical folks at Angry Robot.

 

We hope you'll join us in welcoming Lauren to our shores.

If you didn't make it to Fantasycon, you can take some comfort from the pretty impressive virtual version of the convention that can now be found online through blogs and videos.  The latest video is from Andry Remic and the first covers Andy reading from his new novel, Kell's Legend, available from Angry Robot books.
