I’m excited to be part of the Beyond the Book Festival on 10th May in Brighton…
It runs from 9:30 am to 6pm at the Friends’ Meeting House in Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AF and there’s a roster of amazing authors all day! My panel is…
RISE OF THE WORLD BUILDERS
Main Room. 2.45 – 3.45pm
Fantasy and sci-fi have seen a huge surge in popularity in the last few years, but why do we love these genres so much? In our turbulent times do we read these books to escape this world, or to see it in a different way?
Prepare to enter a multiverse of other worlds with authors Natasha Pulley (The Hymn to Dionysus), Adam Simcox (The Dying Squad), Zulekhá Afzal (Dancers of the Dawn) and podcaster, screenwriter and author Mark Stay (Witches of Woodville) as they share their stories of fantastical realms and incredible adventures. Come and celebrate the power of speculative fiction.

I’ll be chatting to Simon Goddard about the latest of his books chronicling the career of David Bowie. He’s up to 1974, the year in which one man is trying to find his soul in a world that’s gone to the devil. Wickedly funny and shockingly tragic.
I’ll be interviewing bestselling author Lesley-Ann Jones about SONGBIRD, her remarkable new biography of Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie.
The book celebrates the life of the iconic Christine McVie – quintessential English rock star, backbone and the beating heart of Fleetwood Mac.
Witten by the author who was friends with Christine, and with contributions from those who knew her best, Songbird offers a true insider’s view, and deep psychological insight into both the woman and musician.
The event will also feature a fun quiz on Fleetwood Mac, perfect for fans and music lovers alike! Don’t miss this opportunity to hear insights from one of rock’s legendary voices while testing your knowledge about the band.
