The events bring writers from our region of England together with native writers from the cities we are visiting. All of those cities are UNESCO Cities of Literature, as is <a href="https://nottinghamcityofliterature.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nottingham</a>, and as Nottingham's independent bookshop we want to help to establish links with other Cities of Literature, their authors and their bookshops.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mann_(writer)" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">George Mann</a> is the author of the Newbury &amp; Hobbes Victorian mystery series, a series about a 1920s vigilante called The Ghost, and the supernatural crime series Wychwood. He’s also written Doctor Who novels and new adventures for Sherlock Holmes. His comic writing includes extensive work on Doctor Who, Dark Souls and Warhammer 40,000.

Along the way, he has been a journalist, worked in soil decontamination, sold ice cream in California, and furniture across Canada. He received a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Chicago. He taught linguistics in India, and worked as a software engineer in Montreal. He is also a certified translator, though he wishes he were an astronaut. He absolutely loves toys, so he writes about aliens and giant robots as a blatant excuse to build action figures (for his son, of course).H﻿osted by Ross Bradshaw, owner and manager of Five Leaves Bookshop, and Claudine Gélinas-Faucher, who lives and works in Québec.
