Description

From the day he was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital, Andy McNab has lived an extraordinary life. From teenage delinquent, to young soldier, to member of 22 SAS. He was at the centre of covert operations for nine years, on five continents.

During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero. Awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal and Military Medal during his military career, Andy was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he left the SAS.

Now a bestselling writer, he draws on his experiences to write bestseller nonfiction, thrillers and YA. Alongside writing, he lectures on security and intelligence and advises the film industry.

Andy is coming to Portsmouth for the Portsmouth Writers' Hub October Hub night, in association with The University of Portsmouth & BritMilFit.

Andy will talk about his journey so far and introduce us to his latest Nick Stone thriller Cold Blood: Fifteen men out on the ice, one of which is a killer. This introductory talk will be followed by a Q&A. This is your chance to ask Andy any questions you might have. You might want to ask him tips on writing a thriller, advice on going from the military to the arts, or simply how to find your place in the creative industries.

A pop-up Blackwell's will be there selling copies of Cold Blood. You are welcome to purchase copies and get them signed by the author.

Writers' Hub members, University students and staff, military personnel and BritMilFit members are all eligible for free tickets to this event, see ticketing info.

An Evening with Andy McNab is part of the winter festival Portsmouth DarkFest 2016. For a full listing of DarkFest events throughout October and November, check out the Portsmouth Writer's Hub Facebook page.

We look forward to seeing you there!
