Neil Gaiman is coming to Australia!
The author of Stardust, Neverwhere and American Gods will be in Australia at the end of April and the beginning of May to meet with fans, sign books and generally make himself available and agreeable. If you've seen his graphic novels, the Sandman series made up of Punch, and Death: The High Cost of Living, or his children's books, you're aware of his vast spectrum of work, and should be suitably excited. Should be a fascinating Q&A for fans new and old alike.
Gaiman has also worked on film, penning the script to his Stardust, also working on Beowulf and, believe it or not, Babylon 5!
