So this week coming I will be brining the Unseen Shadows train to the Nine Worlds Convention in London. In case you are wondering what is Nine worlds here’s comes the explanation bit.

Nine Worlds will take place in London, UK, 8-10 August 2014. It’s about gaming, film, cosplay, fandom, literature, science, geek culture, meeting people and having a really big party.

In total we’ll have over 25 tracks presenting content in 2014, delivering more than 350 sessions over the three convention days. Enough to satisfy even the geekiest of geeks. Mix that all up with parties, comedians, book launches, discos, swordplay masterclasses, the UK’s top Queen tribute band, costume parades, sci-fi sing-a-longs, and bit of quality beer, and that’s what a geekfest is.

OK with the explanation out of the way I can say that I will be there with some copies of Fallen Heroes, Tales of the Forgotten but also some of the remaining copies of the Unseen Shadows Year One DVD which is digital collection of all the Unseen Shadows products (That’s the novel, the comics, the first three part so the audio drama and more).

I will also be taking part in the following panels and hopefully finding something useful to say in each one!

Because a story can also be an app, computer game, vlog, fanvid, web series, docu-drama, interactive ebook, diary comic, inter-sensory experience or any other format currently existing or yet to exist not listed here. Kind of against the spirit of the thing, if you ask us. Guess you’ll just have to go to it in person. Panel: Barry Nugent, Anna Caltabiano, Simon Guerrier, Adam Christopher
