March Events: Aye Write & Sci Fi Weekender
How is it already almost the end of January?
In March, I have some upcoming events.
Aye Write – Glasgow, Scotland – 17th March
I have two events!
Chris Brookmyre & Laura Lam, It’s Crime Jim, But Not As We Know It
17th Mar 2018 • 4:45PM – 5:45PM • Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
Join these two crime writers who are expanding the boundaries of the genre… Places in the Darkness is set on a space station where hundreds of scientists and engi-neers work building a colony ship that will one day take humanity to the stars. When a mutilated body is found, investigator, Alice Blake, is sent from Earth and discovers a conspiracy that threatens not only her life, but the future of humanity itself. Shattered Minds features an ex-neuroscientist Carina, who has been damaged by working on a sinister brain-mapping project. She must kick her addictions, fight her demons and destroy her adversary – before it changes her and our society, forever.
Nasty Women: Laura Lam, Mel Reeve and Sim Bajwa, chaired by: Chitra Ramaswamy
17th Mar 2018 • 8:15PM – 9:15PM • Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
It’s been a year since 404 Ink’s debut book Nasty Women was published following a hugely successful crowdfunding campaign and support from Margaret Atwood. A number of the contributors to the collection of essays on what it is to be a woman in the 21st century, including Laura Lam and Mel Reeve, reveal in this panel how it has been to be a ‘Nasty Woman’ in this whirl wind project that was the bestselling book at Edinburgh International Book Festival 2017 and what it truly means to be ‘nasty’.
Sci Fi Weekender – Camp SFW, North Wales – 22nd to 25th March
I’m a guest at the Sci Fi Weekender in Wales! The schedule of panels etc haven’t been announced yet, but here’s the website to learn more. I’ll put up my schedule on the blog once I know it!
Hope everyone’s having a lovely Sunday,
