On Saturday 13 May 2023 from 6.30pm to 8pm, Barnet Libraries Literary Festival welcomes award winning author Ben Aaronovitch discussing his stunning new book Amongst our Weapons. The event includes a Q&A and book signing session.
Born and raised in London. Ben had the sort of unrelentingly uninteresting childhood that drives a person to drink or science fiction. The later proved useful in his early career when he wrote for Doctor Who & Casualty. His career floundered in the late 1990s and he was forced to go out and work for living.
It was while running the crime and science fiction sections at the Covent Garden branch of Waterstones that he conceived the notion of writing novels instead. Thus was the Rivers of London series born and when the first book proved to be a runaway success, he waited all of five minutes to give up the day job and return to the bliss that is a full time writing career.
There will be a bookseller in attendance and Ben will be on hand to sign purchased books.
Booking essential.
Once the event is fully booked, there will be a waiting list for cancelled tickets.
