There are still a few weeks left before we embark upon our New York City adventure, but in the meantime, if you live in or around Oxford, you can see Xander, Ben and I do our respective things at the Oxford Literary Death Match this Wednesday, 4 November, at 8pm.

Here’s a perfect example of different skills being used for the same aim.  This is an event that Xander has planned and produced, at which I’ll be reading out a bit of (hopefully side-splittingly funny; yes, you read that right) writing, and Ben will be playing a few of his (invariably brilliant) tunes.

Also check out the Literary Death Match homepage for details on LDMs in your area.
