BESTSELLING
children's
writer
Darren Shan met
some of his
young fans
in Newham.
Real name Darren
O' Shaughnessy,
he
is famous for
his books on
vampires. He
has also topped
the adult
bestseller
charts
in Hungary and
Taiwan. His
books have
sold more than
ten million
copies.
Darren came to
Newham Bookshop
in Barking Road,
Plaistow, to
meet readers and
sign copies
of his books,
including the
latest, called
Bec.
Some youngsters
also came armed
with
their own copies
of Darren s
previous
tales, which he
also signed for
them.
Shop manager
Vivian Archer
said
"Darren's a huge
hero,
especially to
boys.
It's a major
coup that we got
him. The event
was
fantastic. We
had 100 very
excited
children queuing
for a
long time to
meet Darren, and
we sold at least
200
copies of his
books."
