BSFG welcomes Jeff Noon & Steve Beard

We are very excited to welcome authors Jeff Noon and Steve Beard as our guests for November.

Jeff Noon (photo on left, photographer credit: Grant Gee) was born in Manchester, England. He trained in the visual arts and was active in the post-punk music scene before becoming a playwright, and then a novelist. His science fiction books include Vurt (Arthur C. Clarke Award), Pollen, Automated Alice, Falling Out of Cars, and a collection of stories called Pixel Juice. He has written two crime novels, Slow Motion Ghosts and House with No Doors. The four Nyquist Mysteries (A Man of Shadows, The Body Library, Creeping Jenny, and Within Without) explore the shifting intersections between SF and crime. Noon's latest books are Gogmagog and Ludluda, a duology of alternative world fantasy novels known as The Chronicles of Ludwich, created in collaboration with Steve Beard.
