This was a great week for the Elephant and Macaw Banner, with the Brazilian launch of “The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara”.  It kept me busy with three interviews and my first ever book signing.

Below I’ve included some pictures of the events.

It was a night to remember.

Many thanks to everyone who participated!

Although it’s already in stores around Brazil, the official launch of the book Duplo Fantasia Heroica, featuring “The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara” is lined up for next week.

I’ll be doing an autograph session at Livraria Cultura in Porto Alegre, but the other author, Roberto de Sousa Causo, unfortunately can’t attend.

Thanks again to Causo and Devir and everyone else who made this happen!

I’ll be doing a round table discussion on Wednesday in Porto Alegre with Cesar Alcázar and Duda Falcão of Argonautas Editora.  We’ll be discussing the history of Sword & Sorcery and the recent initiatives in Brazil, including our own contributions: Sagas Vol 1- Espada e Magia from Argonautas, and Duplo Fantasia Heroica, my title with Roberto de Sousa Causo and Devir Livraria.
