Following a short break there will be an Author panel – giving their personal perspectives of publishing via KDP.
Dublin-based Gerry Kilby’s first novel, Chain Reaction, is very much an old-school techno-thriller; while his later book series—Moon Base Delta, Colony Mars, and The Belt— have topped the Amazon charts for Hard Science Fiction and Space Exploration.
Kelly Creighton is an award winning author based in Newtownards. Her thirteen books include the DI Harriet Sloane crime series; a thriller State of Fear, short story collections and poetry.
Margaret Skea is Northern Irish by birth, now living in Scotland. Her awards include the Beryl Bainbridge Award for Turn of the Tide, her first of five historical novels, and she has also written contemporary biography and short stories.
