On Monday 2nd October at the Keep, Guildford, A F Harrold makes another very welcome guest appearance with The 1000 Monkeys. A F has been writing very successfully for young people and children in recent years. His latest book, Greta Zargo and the Death Robots from Outer Space (2017), follows his five books in the Fizzlebert Stump series (2012 - 2016), 'The Imaginary' (2016), and other brilliantly imaginative titles for children. His collections for adults include 'Flood' (2010) and the moving 'Point of Inconvenience'.
We also take the opportunity to launch Scott Elder's new collection, 'Part of the Dark' which has just been published by Dempsey & Windle. Scott is an American poet now based in France, who has crowned a fascinating biography (which includes training at the same mime school as Marcel Marceau) by writing this powerful collection of poems. Dónall Dempsey hosts and it's free entry for all, as usual, but we shall send our Tip Monkey among you to raise some train-fare for our guests! 
THE ROUTE FROM GUILDFORD STATION TO THE KEEP
(8 minutes on foot) There is also parking 50 yards away in the Castle Car Park or, in the evenings, there's often space on the High Street, nearby.

Farnham Speedy Writing Group Starts meeting again in September.Farnham Maltings, Bridge Square, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7QR
The Farnham Writers Group meets on Tuesday evenings during school term times for a couple of hours of fast creative writing on topics set by members of the group. It's a friendly, informal meeting, in a room provided free by the Art Centre, a great way to put aside space and time for reflection and free-writing. Poems, short stories, even the germs of a novel, can sprout in the fertile soil of this companionable group. Andy B J Low usually leads the group, but the group belongs to all who attend it. It costs you nothing - why not go along one Tuesday and dip in? The room is to be found up the external stairs to the right of the main entrance to the Maltings from its car park. It's on our events calendar - 7.30 - 9.30 on Tuesday evenings, with a break during school holidays.
How to get to Andy B J Low's writing group at FARNHAM MALTINGS on foot from Farnham rail station (there's also a large car-park behind the building):
