Just want to say a big thank you to Simon and Patti for arranging the event, and for all the interesting conversation with those who turned up. It was great to meet everyone and to put faces to the names. If you weren't there, you missed a great event. Oh, and some yummy cakes. :p

I second that Shaun. Thanks to everyone who made it possible. I had such a great time and was so lovely to meet you all. It was fascinating getting to know you all a bit more.
We have such a great group :-)
Can't wait til the next one :-)

I also wanted to thank Simon and Patti for organising this. I had a very good time. The meeting was really interesting and I hope that this is only the first one in a long line of meetings. And a big thanks to the bakers for the yummy cakes!

mmmmmcakemmmmm
Im still riding the high.
now, everyone step outside and look at the perigee moon
wonderful

Whilst I didn't actually sample any of the cakes, I had a really good time and it was absolutely awesome to meet everyone.

Can't see the moon from here. It's cloudy.

And here it's raining. Bleugh.

I'll add my thanks to Simon and Patti for organising today.

here's to the next one!

i really do appreciate all the thanks but Simon and I had nothing to do with it being so great. its all down to all of our wonderful groupites.

To show my support for those fellow attendees whose work I didn't pick up there (now reading The Cult of Me and Alice Parker's Metamorphosis), I've now downloaded Few Are Chosen, K'Barthan, The Man from Undead (the curious case of the kidnapped chemist), Broken City, The House on Tremawney, Strictly Murder, Ripples in an Emerald Sea, The Showing, Wanted.

I'm boosting all these members books to the top of my reading pile.

Have I missed anyone?

Give us the amazon links Shaun.

Add on the store tag which is

&tag=ethings-21

This is the writing book Lynda mentioned yesterday.

Can't wait to get home and have a proper look at all my goodies. And take a drink out of my SUPERCOOL U.N.D.E.A.D. MUG!!!!

It was a blast - when is the next one?

Thanks for your list Shaun. It helped me complete mine. I can't wait to get into these books either.

I had loads of fun, talked way too much and got dragged away early. Can't wait for the next one, I'll bring more brownies!!!


And a big THANK YOU to Shaun for buying my book!

I'm really happy to have met you all and hope that there will be more opportunities to meet in the future. I wish you all the best of luck with your writing and finding the books you'll delight in reading. I'll be adding you as friends and your books to my lists too, if I miss anyone please let me know.

Thank you

And a very big thank you very much to Simon and Patti for arranging the event.

Yesterday I doubled the size of my signed book collection. Shaun, Michael - you have now joined Alan Titchmarsh and Simon Drew :p

You could reach a bit lower if you like.

And so it starts...

sheesh i was giddy just standing next you Darren!
*blushes*

I always forget the tags!!!!! Sorry!!!!! I'll take my punishment like a man.

Patti, thanks for your interest yesterday in my "Chamaeleon:" fantasy series for older children. I've sadly neglected them (and the third book which has been half-written for ages)and hardly ever give them a mention.

Chamaeleon: The Secret Spy is the first
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0060IBQ36

And the sequel, Chamaeleon: The Dragon Key
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0060IBQ36

Sorry that I've not added tags - I don't know how and I've forgotten the code Simon gave us - so, I'd never make a spy!

Lynda's books with tags

Thanks Lynda! I look forward to reading them. As I said, I'm always looking for great books to share with my students. :)

Never mind. I'll save the ankle kick for when I reckon you're not doing enough writing. ;)

Thanks Shaun and Darren for the list, now I'm sure I'll get everyone's work.

Can't imagine you reading Alice Parker Shaun!

p.s. I HATE YOU ALL

*sobs*

Hate is just love that has been really tightly squeezed.

My hate is just jealous love.

Jud (Disney Diva) wrote: "My hate is just jealous love."

Is there any other kind?

um... yes

I hate that you weren't there Jud. :(

I hate a lot of people that weren't there. Oh, wait, thats wrong...

Oh sod it, I need to go back to bed.

I'll meet you one day Patti!

Yes you will Jud.

Shit GL. You just got up!

Jud (Disney Diva) wrote: "Can't imagine you reading Alice Parker Shaun!"

Nicola kindly signed a copy for my son, and although he reads far more books than I do nowadays, I'm reading it to him. :)

Patti (Number 69) wrote: "Yes you will Jud.

I used up 2 weeks worth of energy in 4 days

Cute :o)

I love the Alice Parker books.

Me too. Nicola's a talented writer and the books are great fun.

Darren,
Thank you for the book list, I'll make sure I buy any I don't already own.

Shaun, thanks for buying my book. I've bought yours too... actually, I've bought everybody's!

I read all sorts of things so I'm really looking forwards tackling this lot.

Cheers

Finished The Kult last night, if Killers is anywhere near as good I'm going to enjoy it. The Kult has: a great voice; momentum straight from the beginning; and unlike most of what I've read in this genre before, a refreshing absence of filler. I'm going to recommend it to several people, including my mum and sister, who are heavily into this type of thriller. I'll try and get a review up later today.

Thank you very much, Adam. Really pleased to hear you enjoyed it. Yes, I don't really add much 'filler' so to speak, as I prefer to just get on with the story.

I'm currently reading Michael's

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0...

It's very good. I stayed up half the night reading it.

Wonderful prose.

Edit to add...

It's the second book in the series, following on from The Cult of Me which I read and enjoyed back in March.

Have you looked at Faust 2.0 yet Patti? That's amazing too. The lad's got a gift!

Hmmm.

Don't think so. I'll check n make sure I've got it. Thanks.

Won't be able to move it out of archive onto my kindle til I've got wifi though.

I'm pleased you're enjoying it.

I probably won't have time to start anyone's books until the holidays as I'm struggling to get One Man: No Plan ready for editing over the holidays.

Everyone's books are all stacked up ready to go. I'm looking forward to it.

Cheers

Oooh, a day away from this thread, now I return to find flattery! It just gets better!

Btw, Jud, I hoped Shaun might secretly like Finwip Village. He was the only other person I saw at the meeting who had a tattoo. I kept mine hidden, just in case ... ;)
