Samaritans event

Posted by Simon on 3rd, July 2009 at 08:01:43

For a group of people who go about doing a wonderful job with remarkable humility and modesty, it's hard to beat the Samaritans.  So it was a very easy question to answer when I was asked if I would do a talk to support the National Samaritans Day, a programme of events to raise awareness of their work.

It's at the Theatre Royal, in Plymouth, on Friday, 24th July, at 2pm.  There's more on the events page - www.thetvdetective.com/news.html

I'm just working on the talk now.  For those of you who have suffered my rantings before and thus are weighing up whether to come along then fear not - I can promise you some fresh anecdotes from my strange life, plus an insight into my new novel, The Judgement Book, which is published on Sept 7th.  By the time of the talk, the final edits should be done and the book ready to go - or so I hope.  I'll update you on the day!

There'll also be copies of my previous books on sale, which I'll be very happy to dedicate for you. My publishers have kindly provided some freebie bookmarks to hand out too - call it your reward for sitting through one of my talks!

As you'll probably know from the books, Dan has a tendency to depression, which has led him to some very dark corners in life.   It's for him, and the countless many like him that the Samaritans are always there, ready to listen but never judge.

I'm extremely proud to be supporting them.
