Oh, shoot! I'm in London the week before visiting my daughter during her term break. Would have loved to go.

A few?! It's 47 and counting...;)

It's the first outing of many, hopefully. Looking forward to meeting you, EC2, and many others, as well as many readers, hopefully!

I'm so upset I can't attend. (It's Jewish New Year.) But I hope it goes well and becomes a regular event (and doesn't clash for me next year!).

Yes it will be fun - interestingly a lot more male authors than female though! As far as I know my agent and editor are coming! In fact several agents from Blake Friedmann will be there AFAIK. I'll be giving a talk in London the day before so I'm stopping over in the capital for 2 nights.

This sounds like a blast. Can I ask for a repeat during next year's HNS conference in London? I'm saving my shekels to attend that one.:)

For me, one of the best things is being able to meet Bernard Cornwell.

Oh, and going out for steak and beers with a few other authors afterwards! :)

I met him at an HNS conference a few years ago - great guy. It's my agent's birthday, so I think I'm off with the agency to a celebration somewhere afterwards - something like that.
