Only 10 days to go until my ONLY live online event of 2021 at Octocon 2021 -- are you getting excited yet?!?

Octocon is the National Irish Science Fiction Convention. It's usually held in Dublin in Ireland, but last year, because of COVID, it moved online, and it's going to be an online event this year too.

On SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, at 2pm Irish Time, I'm doing a FREE solo event, open to people everywhere in the world. I'll start with a short reading, then answer questions from the moderator and the online audience. From what I've been told, the event will take place in a private Zoom meeting, which will be streamed out to Twitch, with audience questions passed on from the convention's Twitch channel.

If you want to take part, either to just watch or to pitch YOUR questions to me -- you can actually tweet questions in advance if you wish, using @Octocon in your tweet -- you must REGISTER on the Octocon site -- registration is FREE, but you HAVE to register to take part.

Oh, and if you want to catch up on all the latest Darren Shan news ahead of the event (so you don't ask anything emabarrassing, like, "Why has it been so long since you released any new books?" only to be told I've actually released six new books over the last two years), click here: https://darrenshan.com/news/shanville-monthly
