I am in complete awe of this illustration, absolute magnificence. The Inkpot Monkey is one of my favs from Nocturnes

So, last night I got to meet a literary hero of mine, Mr John Connolly. Author of the Charlie Parker novels, The Book of Lost Things and the Samuel Johnson books, he was speaking at an event at a Kirklees Library event at Cleckheaton Town Hall. Many of you know I entered the Wrath of Angels contest and was one of 11 winners, so I was very excited to meet the man himself.

As it turns he is much as I expected him to be, quick talking, witty and a little bit cheeky. He spoke for almost two hours on the subjects of writing, his influences, why as an Irish man he writes American crime mysteries, why the reading audience are not to be trusted and many other topics. It really was a very informative and entertaining discourse. 

So being the giant geek that I am I decided weeks ago, that I was going to take my very old, very battered (and held together with tape) copy of Every Dead Thing for him to sign, as well as an A4 copy of my winning design for him to sign so I could frame it. When we got to the front of the queue for signing, the first thing he said to me before hello was “you look like someone I have to give money to” and then “so you’re Miss Farquharson” and produced a cheque with my prize money which was the first of a few surreal things to happen in under 5 minutes. He was also very complimentary about my design which was just amazing to hear! I mean, who doesn’t want to hear praise from the man who created the inspiration for you design. mind= blown. Then on producing both copies of the print he insisted that I sign his copy which was just crazytownbananapants! I also got a copy of the UK postcards which are beautiful.

So yeah, surreal and amazing evening in Cleckheaton of all places (even if I did get a bit tongue tied!) I look forward to receiving my copy of Wrath of Angels next week!

The writing in my copy of Every Dead Thing says:

“To Emily,

In admiration
Thanks for the beautiful illustration

John Connolly”
