A Meeting of Friends

I spent the afternoon yesterday in the company of the most delightful, if slightly barmy, bunch of people you could ever meet. Some of the authors and one top reviewer from the KU Forum decided that Derby was, for our purposes, the centre of the world, and we met in a fabulous pub just a hundred yards from the station. 

We ate, we drank, we had fun and we munched chocolates. We also spoke about books and writing, of course, but mainly it was a group of people who, through the internet, were already mates, getting together for a natter. Authors are a very supportive bunch and many of those there helped me when I first ventured to write. Cameras came out and the above photo (courtesy of Alex Roddie) has appeared on Facebook, tagged here and there. I have one or two of my own, mostly of those unfortunates who happened to pass before my eyes when I had my camera switched on.

There's been a suggestion that we do this again and I really hope we do. Some people think we should make it an annual event and I'm up for that, too! A room full of creative types makes for a great afternoon. I hated having to leave.

​Thanks to you all for your friendship and here's to the next time.

I hope that Alex Roddie didn't have too much alcohol. He's working on my latest book. I hope I'll be able to come along to the next one.

Alex was the epitome of editorial sobriety, Gordon. Actually lots of people were on the soft drinks as they were driving home but the good cheer wasn't alcohol dependent. I do hope you join us for the next one.
