Wayne Simmons and David Moody have announced that they will be going on a signing tour across the country from August to December.
“Wayne and I have become something of a double-act at signings and events”, says David Moody, “So much so that Waterstones have started spreading the word for us amongst their branches. We found we’d got so many joint events lined up that it felt like we were going out on tour. Moody’s Survivors – an incredible Facebook fan group – got wind of our plans and things have spiralled from there with them producing posters and the like. So what began as a few quiet signings around the country has mutated into the first leg of the ongoing ‘Never Trust a Man with Hair’ tour! We’ll go wherever people want us (within reason, of course!). If anyone wants us to sign near them they should either get in touch directly or speak to their local bookstore/comic shop and ask them to get in touch.”
