Folklore Talk, Storytelling and Book Signing Event

free event, but booking required

Event Programme

1. THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER - an introduction to the Folklore of the Three Realms 

"A lot of folklore is concerned with other realms. Worlds that exist apart, yet overlap or interact to varying degrees. It is this aspect that aligns many features of myth, folklore and religion around the terrestrial realm we all share… and the idea of the Three Realms has been repeatedly explored through stories, art, psychology, and now the existence of separate realities is widespread in scientific thought. Why does the belief in the Three Realms persist so prominently across multiple cultures spread far and wide, geographically and historically?"

2. THE FOUND HOUND - retelling a traditional Fairy-Story of Wales 

"How you care for any animal in need is one way the Fair Ones of Wales judge you & decide whether to bestow epic curses or life changing luck.

3. CHATS and BOOK SIGNINGS

World Book Day: 'Scraps' & 'Final Bough' FREE

As part of the celebration for World Book Day (and Saint David's Day), my publishers questing beast books are offering the Kindle editions of Final Bough and Scraps as free downloads. I expect there will be many other publishers doing the same, so it should be well worth a browse at the Amazon Kindle Store...

The novelette, Final Bough is a sort of ghost story set in Sowdonia, the mountains and valleys of North Wales, and concerns influences from the past affecting the present... Scraps is a 'punk' crime novel that pushed a few boundaries when it was first published back in the early 1990s, and I hope that it remains 'fresh' and 'flippant'...

Find out more about World Book Day at their website, which has lots of free resources and lists book related events by region... World Book Day is 1st March 2012.
