Come and say hello
I spend a fair chunk of the year behind a table covered in books, bunting and at least one thing that shouldn’t be there. Below is everywhere you can find me in 2026. Signed copies, stickers, and a genuinely pleased-to-see-you expression.

What’s on the table
- Signed paperbacks of the Trussel & Gout series

- Card payments accepted — and cash, if you’re old-fashioned about it
- Personalised dedications, no extra charge
Say hello even if you’re not buying. Half the fun of these days is talking to people about books, and I have never once minded.
A special edition of Trussel & Gout
There’s a Kickstarter planned for 2027 — a special illustrated edition of the series. The details are still being worked out, so there isn’t much to show yet.
If you’d like to hear about it first, and get early-bird pricing when it launches, put your name down. That’s all it is for now: a list of people who want to know.
Running an event in 2027?
I’m booking 2027 dates now — book fairs, comic cons, library events, school visits, and anything else where a man may reasonably sit behind a table and talk about goblins.
