Time flies like an arrow, as the man said. Fruit flies, on the other hand, like a banana. Well time is the enemy of us all, of course. Time flies like an arrow, as the man said.

I suspect I will notice many parallels between the relationships in your books and my own work (I hope my flies stay small though). I really enjoyed the literature panels and will be keeping an eye out for other events in the London area. I almost came along but unfortunately the fruit flies I work with were demanding I return.

I hope you enjoy the books, anyway, and perhaps see you at some similar piece of business in the future.

I particularly agree with your wish to see more "change" within fantasy. Anyway, you got my attention and I've since seen some very positive reviews of your work. I'm going to check out your series and see what I think. I'd come along to the Klatch but feel I should probably leave a space for folk who've read your work. Thanks.

Or, as it's coffee, perhaps it's just the shakiness and speed of delivery that varies. Presumably the quality of the anecdote varies proportionally to the quantity of the drinks.

It boils down (sorry, bad pun) to you sitting around with a bunch of your fans. They buy you drinks and you entertain their questions, and treat them to tales and anecdotes. Seem-pelz. Coffeeklatch
