My reading and talk at the booQfest on 16th September will be in the first floor gallery at The Charles Rennie Mackintosh House and Galleries which are at 78 Derngate.

I have to say it’s a pretty apt place for me since when I studied at the Architectural Association (all those years ago) Mackintosh was very much a part of my life. I’ve never been to the house in Derngate – only to Glasgow – so this is something that I’m doubly looking forward to. I hope you’ll come if you can – even if I bore you to death you’ll love the surroundings. You can find out more about the venue at their stunningly lovely website:

Steve Emmett is 5′ 10″ in his sock feet, 55 years of age, and may weigh more than 120Kg depending on the time of day. What little hair he has left is brown going grey, but in years gone by he had a rich unruly mop which was tamed according to fashion – poodle perm; New Romantic side parting; bleached both in whole and part. His challenge to the barber these days is rather more workaday.
Steve studied architecture at the AA in London where he once witnessed Dame Zaha Hadid fall through a canvas chair (admittedly she was just plain Ms Hadid then). He spent most of his working life selling Italian country homes to northern Europeans and Americans, and spent many years living in London and Italy. He will always be grateful to Lehman Bros for wrecking his comfortable existence and providing him with the opportunity to fulfil his writerly ambitions. Steve grew up on Hammer Horror films, Dennis Wheatley and M R James stories, so not surprising that his main aim is to put the frighteners up his readers. When not scaring people he likes to make them smile.
He is a member of the Society of Authors, the British Humanist Association, and reviews for the New York Journal of Books. You may have come across him at the occasional book festival, book signing, or making merry on the Paranormal Radio Network. He is always open to offers, the more bizarre the better.
He likes to read, watch films, go to the theatre, go to concerts and the opera (he loves the opera), and travel. He has been known to frequent good restaurants and drink fine wine. There isn’t much going on in the world that doesn’t interest him and on which he hasn’t an opinion.

Wow! Worth waiting for Steve!
Catherine, I’m not sure if that’s ‘Worth waiting for Steve’ or ‘Worth waiting for, Steve’ 😦
Worth waiting for, Steve.
Mind you, it kind of works both ways!
Damn, I’m going home on the Sunday morning, so I won’t get to hear you do your thing! Hope it goes well – maybe see you there?
Depends what time you are buzzing off. I’m heading down Sunday morning, will get there before noon I hope!!
Looks like a lovely place and I’m looking forward (I think) to being there to keep you in line. Just behave… 🙂
That’ll be the day!
