I'm really looking forward to seeing you all in the flesh (so to speak). I realise that my dissatisfaction with Nightspawn may have ruffled a few feathers, and may make things awkward at the convention - especially if Aswang are going to make their big announcement/reveal there. But it had to be said. I kept quiet during the Telco fiasco, I bit my tongue during the GWP episode...but I'm saying this now, because I don't want to see history being repeated a third time. If that makes me unpopular - or even unwelcome at the convo - so be it. Aswang won't be at the GNS convo this year. However, the release of a new GNS novel is bound to be the big news/conversation that day. Recent dissapointments with previous publishers are bound to make you wary of new publications from another new publisher. I think Aswang themselves are aware of this, which is part of the reason that they didn't want to start shouting about their new GNS release until it was 100% sorted out. I'm sure a website for the publishers will follow shortly... Typo's and formattig issues wise...hmmmmmm...I'm still ploughing through a pile of books that I have to get read asap for reviews, so I haven't had chance to read my copy of Nightspawn yet. However, this does sound a little disappointing. Nonetheless, it is their first release, and so hopefully these issues will be ironed out with other publications going forwards (via additional proof readers etc). At the end of the day, if Aswang are going to keep releasing novels that I want to read, then I'm going to support them with that. Ade - I don't think that you are ruffling any feathers with your honest views. It's good to get people talking about the new releases and how improvements can hopefully be made.

Do I need to tell anyone that we are now going or do we just turn up? BTW Mr. Smith lives 8 miles from Knighton so will there be any spare car seats available. I don't think my wife wants to walk.

As long as your wife can tolerate Slayer in the car...then you guys can grab a lift from me if you want. I've got a Renault Scenic (family car now that the twins are here), so there's plenty of room. Oh...and my numberplate ends with BHN...so it's all good!

Slayer is cool, a bit easy listening for my taste but hey! It's your car and only eight miles!

And after you're all Slayered-up, you can join me on the dance floor at the Horse and Jockey... Knighton won't know what hit 'em!

You have fabulous legs Stepsy although, I would advise against wearing purple again. It clashes with your hair. By the way DLS, My wife want to know if you have any Vader.

By the way DLS, My wife want to know if you have any Vader. I have 'Blood', 'Litany', 'The Beast' & 'Revelations' as well as their DVD 'Night of the Apocalypse'. Why? Is she a fan?

Just so I know how many people will be there, once you have decided that you will be at the convention could you just drop me note at the usual place blackhillbooks@hotmail.com, Im trying to give it a little bit of organisation lol, Auction is being prepared too. Hope everyone here can make, will be good to meet every one..... Btw just to let you know the ebooks should be on the gns site anytime now...... They will be put up every two weeks at around £5 but the rarer books may be a little more..... somewhere around £8-10.
