More Festival news!  I'll be appearing at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on Sunday and Monday, 22-23 August.  One will be a public event about Monsters of Men, and the other will be a Schools Programme event (in the big hall!) with the very excellent Keith Gray, talking about Losing It, a new anthology we've both written new stories for (not out 'til July, but I'll definitely be talking about it in the weeks to come). 

Booking for the public programme isn't until the end of June, but the schools programme started book last Friday.  If you're a school, check us out!

And a reminder, too, that I'm also appearing at the Hay Festival on 4-5 June (booking now) and at Easons Bookshop on O'Connell Street in Dublin on May 13 with Sarah Rees Brennan.

WAY too many new commenters to mention here, mostly people lucky enough to have already gotten their hands on Monsters of Men a bit before the official publication (which is Monday).  Excellent to hear from you all!  I can't wait to hear more.
