Last week I set off on the first ever ZOM-B WALKING TOUR of London!! A fan called MARTIN had bought the perk when I was running a fundraising campaign for The Terrified Troll. We met in Liverpool Street Station, then set off on a long walk towards the centre of London, during which we passed by several places which featured in my Zom-B series. (Including the block of flats where I lived when I first came up with the idea for the books.) We discussed Zom-B, my other books, and a whole lot more.

The tour took just under 3 hours, which included a break to sit down and have a drink in a cafe in a crypt. (There HAS to be a crypt on a Darren Shan tour!!) We finished up at County Hall, where these photos were taken. County Hall was a notable finishing point for three reasons. 1 -- because it featured very strongly in the books (since I moved into the building while writing the series!). 2 -- that's where my Archibald Lox series started life (we actually walked over the footbridge where I was struck with the idea for the first Archie book). 3 -- and while there, we were able to see the building where I was born!!! (That's it in the second photo, in the distance behind Martin and myself.)

Although the fundraiser has finished, I'm still offering some of the perks. The Zom-B tour is one of those (it costs €300). There's also a Bec tour (€250) in Ireland. You can meet me in Limerick (€200) or London (€275) for a couple of hours. Or you can do a 40 minutes Zoom chat with me (€150). If you're interested in any of those, drop me a line at eldarro72 at gmail dot com, and we can discuss it further.
