The progamme for the Book Festival (18 Sept) is just about organized -- just a few details to be sorted out. It looks like being a fun-filled day, with a very strong local dimension and also some well-known keynote speakers like Stan Barstow, Trevor Fishlock, and Catrin Collier.
All 30 of the tables in Neuadd y Dderwen are now booked, so the hall will have a nice buzz about it! The talks and worshops will be in the Conservatory in the big house, in the bar next to the big hall, and in the summer house in the garden. There will be nominal charges for the "events" and a day pass costing £10 will entitle the bearer to attend everything -- bearing in mind that quite a few events will be going on in parallel.
I'll be giving a talk on the writing of the Angel Mountain Saga, and I'll also have a table in the hall.
