New authors for Discover Festival - Graham Joyce and David Barnett confirmed!

Hi Guys,

Absolutely delighted to make a really exciting announcement today, with two new writers joining the line-up for Discover Festival - I'm chuffed to welcome aboard GRAHAM JOYCE and DAVID BARNETT.

Graham Joyce is acclaimed writer of fantasy and horror, and a winner of both the World Fantasy Award and the British Fantasy Award (five times) for Best Novel. His most recent titles for adults include The Silent Land, Memoirs of a Master Forger (as William Heaney) and The Limits of Enchantment. Graham is also an award winning young adult author, with leading titles including The Devils Ladder and TWOC. He also teaches Creative Writing at Nottingham Trent University.

David Barnett is a journalist and author based in the North of England. He has just signed a three-book deal with Tor (US) for a series of fantasy adventures set in an alternative Victorian England. His latest novel is popCULT!, published by Pendragon Press, and he has previously had two novels - Hinterland and Angelglass - and a short story collection, The Janus House and Other Two-Faced Tales, out from Immanion Press.

Two more great names for our fantastic line-up, I'm sure you'll agree - you can check out all the latest on Discover Festival, and book your tickets, from www.discoverfestival.co.uk.

Thanks a lot

Alex
