You Shall Go to the Ball!

Black Rose pic Autumn is shaping up to be a very busy one for me, with a wide variety of speaking engagements, seminars to teach and suchlike coming up in the next few months. I’ll post relevant details here closer to the time. For now, the first such outing is a signing I’ll be conducting at the Black Rose Ball here in York on Saturday, September 19th. An annual Gothic Masquerade in aid of the St Leonard’s Hospice, held at the outrageously elegant De Grey Rooms, the event’s established itself as a highlight in England’s dark culture calendar. A dress code is in place, so break out your finest Gothic plumage (masks are available on the door for a modest charge). If you fancy making a weekend of it, proceedings open the preceding night with performances by the popular Goth bands Dyonisis and Pretentious Moi? at the Fulford Arms.

I can be found signing a selection of my books between 9-10pm at the De Grey Rooms on Saturday. Titles will be available to buy, though do feel free to bring anything you already own to be signed, or indeed just drop by for a chat. Liquor libations always gratefully received.
