An Evening With Ben Aaronovitch

Join us and Falmouth Bookseller for an evening with Sunday Times best-selling SFF novelist Ben Aaronovitch! Ben will be joining us for a Q&A and book signing to celebrate Stone and Sky, the latest book in the Rivers of London series.

Born and raised in London Ben Aaronovitch had the sort of unrelentingly uninteresting childhood that drives a person to drink or Science Fiction. The latter proved useful in his early career when he wrote for Doctor Who (before it was fashionable), Casualty and the cheapest soap opera ever made – Jupiter Moon.

Alas his career floundered in the late 1990s and he was forced to go out and work for a 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.

He still lives in the city that he modestly calls ‘the capital of the world’ and says he will leave when they prise London from his cold dead fingers. He promises that he is already hard at work on the next Peter Grant novel and not computer games – honest.

Copies of Stone and Sky, as well as a selection of Ben’s other novels in the series, will be available to purchase on the night. If you have any specific titles you would like, please contact Falmouth Bookseller to pre-order by either popping in the shop or emailing falmouthbookseller@mabecronbooks.co.uk. 

We will not be putting a limit on how many books you would like signed - but Ben does ask that anyone with a big stack waits until the end of the signing queue.
