Mercedes Rochelle  will be exhibiting at The Village Renaissance Faire on Sept 19-20: http://villagefaire.org/ If you want to get your hands on Heir to a Prophecy or Godwine Kingmaker signed, then do go and see her and pick up some excellent historical fiction.

Here's Mercedes at a previous event, with the banner she made.

 

Ron Semple will be giving a presentation on his soon to be released novel Black Tom: Terror on the Hudson on Sept. 24 The event is co-sponsored by the Davie (NC) County Historical Society and the Davie County Library at the library in Mocksville, NC. The novel will be published on Oct. 30.

Black Tom is a tale of sabotage, subterfuge and political shenanigans set in that colorful, raucous place that was Jersey City in 1916 when America is on the cusp of war and the fate of a president and the nation might hinge on the decision a young policeman is forced to make.

 

 

 

Peter Bartram’s recent launch for Headline Murder was a great success, with 50 people filling Brighton's Caribou nightclub. City Books, Brighton's leading indie bookseller, did a brisk trade at the bookstall. And actor Peter F Gardiner won rousing applause for his in-character performance as Colin Crampton, the crime reporter at the centre of Headline Murder.

 

 

Nimue Brown took her Steampunk novel Intelligent Designing for Amateurs to the UK’s biggest Steampunk gathering: Weekend at the Asylum in Lincoln. The weekend involved hats, colouring in Steampunk mice, and meeting a lot of other people who share her belief that the world is generally a better place when it has sinister mice in it. (There are, you may not now be surprised to learn, quite a lot of sinister mice in Intelligent Designing).

The image features Nimue (in a hat) with her son James in the background and art by her husband, Tom Brown, who also did the cover for Intelligent Designing.
