May Fringe: Cavan Scott & Justin Newland

The May BristolCon Fringe event takes place next Monday. Our two guests readers are as follows:

Justin Newland lives in Somerset with his girlfriend and writes historical, fantasy and speculative fiction with a supernatural bent. Excerpts of his work have entertained listeners at various events in the Bristol area. He published a short story in an anthology entitled Hidden Bristol and appeared as a panellist at last year’s Bristol Con.

Justin has been a member of writers’ groups in Bath and Bristol. He is currently, he is writing the first novel of his magnum opus, a pre-apocalyptic trilogy entitled The Genes of Isis.

Regular podcast listeners will know Justin as “the man who asks questions”. This month we get to turn the tables.

Sunday Times Bestselling Author Cavan Scott has written numerous books, audio dramas and comics based on popular cult series as Doctor Who, Blake ‘s 7, Highlander and The Tomorrow People.

He specialises in writing licenced fiction for children, and recently has been writing a line of horror stories for teenage reluctant readers. He’s edited magazines in many different markets from Countryfile to Disney Girl, and writes Roger the Dodger, Bananaman and Minnie the Minx for the Beano.

Yes folks, you read that correctly. We have a man who writes for the Beano! Be there, or be custard-pied.

As usual we will be at the Shakespeare Tavern from 7:00pm or so, with the readings due to start at 7:30pm. Full details here.
