Phil Rickman author signing 2nd April 2010
We were delighted to welcome back Phil Rickman (and his lovely wife Carol) to sign copies of his new book Bones of Avalon. In a departure from the Merrily Watkins novels, Phil delves into the past: Bones of Avalon is set in 1560 and follows Dr John Dee, astrologer to Queen Elizabeth, who is given an assignment by the Queen's chief minister, Sir William Cecil, to ride to the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey and bring back King Arthur's bones.
 Fans travelled from far and wide to meet Phil, the shop was pleasantly full with a wonderful, eclectic mix of people, and we sold out of books after about an hour. That didn’t put anyone off chatting to Phil and quizzing him about the next, eagerly anticipated Merrily book …. which he tells us he is working on at the moment and is due for release later this year.
Many thanks to Phil, one of our most popular authors, for his support – we are always glad to see him here. |
