The Daylight Tour Pt. 2: UK Tour Dates

After ten days on the road and in the sky for my U.S. Tour, I will have a weekend to kiss my daughter and sort my mail before flying off to the U.K for the second leg of the Daylight Tour. I was planning to have an extra day at home, but there were so many requests from readers for a Manchester stop that the publisher and I agreed to add one at the last minute.

Some of the following are ticketed events (which I assume means you are welcome to bring your own books to be signed), and others are free. Please understand that I don’t control this aspect of things. Regardless, you are encouraged to spend a little money at the hosting bookstores if you can. In today’s age when it is so easy to order things online, we quickly forget what wonderful things like signings, readings and other events, that physical bookstores bring to our communities. Support them now, rather than miss them once they’re gone.

Here are the details:

Monday Feb 25th – MANCHESTER, U.K.

Join me for an evening at Waterstones in Manchester with a reading from The Daylight War followed by a signing.

Friday March 1st – Sunday March 3rd – North Wales

Appearances to be announced soon!

After SFX Weekender I will be heading back to NYC for a WHOLE WEEK, before beginning the third leg of the tour, which will include several stops in Germany, culminating in the Liepzig Book Fair. Details for that tour will be posted shortly.

For those of you in the UK who will not be able to make one of these events, there is still hope, as I will be back in October for the World Fantasy Convention in Brighton.

I will be doing a handful of other US conventions as well, and am hoping to make it to Australia at some point this year. Other country visits will depend on what invitations/opportunities crop up from local publishers and booksellers. Ideally, I would like to be able to visit every country where I am published, but due to laws of time and physics, that may never be entirely possible.

  8. Oh Brett, get a Scottish trip booked in 2 please, it’s only a 1:30hr flight, and you have so many fans that would love to get their books signed. I’ve ordered mine online anyway but I would still love my other two books signed by you! Great work anyway

  11. Another request for Scottish dates-especially since I used to live in Milton Keynes, but have now moved the few hundred miles from there…

    Posted by Danielle, on January 15th, 2013 at 2:41 am

  18. Seriously not a Scottish date? I could greet!! 🙁 When I saw tour dates I couldn’t believe it, although sadly I would have to embark on my own personal UK tour to attend.

  20. Please say you are not one of the many who think Scotland is a tiny country just north of London! We are a part of the UK and there for deserve a. Is it from you ourselves! Begging you to please visit us north of the border, Edinburgh at the very least! It’s central, mostly, and most fans up here will find a way to get there!

  21. I will make my way to forbidden planet.

    Thank you for taking the time to come see us. As a farther I know nothing makes up for lost time with the kids. But maybe have a cider and a hearty meal and remember what it’s like to be carefree for a little while!

    Thanks again
