FantasyCon 2010: Second Guest of Honour

Garry Kilworth joins MC James Barclay & GOH Lisa Tuttle as FamtasyCon 2010 second GOH. Garry has been writing short-stories and novels for nearly forty years. A Yorkshireman who went walkabout from the age of two, he loves to travel the world with a pack on his back and his wife Annette by his side.

Since the publication of his first novel 'In Solitary' he has written SF, fantasy, children's fiction and, as Garry Douglas, a series of historical war novels.

He is the recipient of both a British Science Fiction Award and World Fantasy Award, both for the same story, 'The Ragthorn' written in collaboration with a Rob Holdstock. He has also been twice shortlisted for the children's Carnegie Medal award and won the Lancashire 'Children's Book of the Year Award' (which is judged by kids so pleases him immensely).
