Hello to everyone that attended the launch of the new edition of The Hammer Story at the Cine Lumiere in Queensberry Place, London, UK. The event included cinema screenings of Never Take Sweets From a Stranger and The Two Faces of Dr Jekyll.
Guests included actors Janina Faye, Geoffrey Bayldon, Kenneth Cope, Brian Croucher, all of who were signing copies of the new book with authors Marcus Hearn and Alan Barnes.
Those with a keen eye, spotted a chap who came in and sat down at a table. On speaking to him, he told us that he was out and about and just popped in. It was the amazing Ray Harryhausen!
We didn’t go to film anything, but managed to borrow a digital camera that records video and put this together!

Thank You.
Austin Carty was a cast member on Survivor: Panama Exile Island in 2006, but he isnt content or comfortable being known solely as that guy who appeared on the reality TV show, ate bugs, and built barely functional lean-tos. What he is content and comfortable with, hes discovered, is his faith and his belief in something bigger than himself. And its this faith and this belief thats led him to endure greater trials than a couple of months of outdoor living, or even surviving a monsoon dressed in a T-shirt. Today, Carty travels across the world speaking to youth about being a Christian in a world that requires a unique set of survival skills none of which, luckily, involve using a flint. Hes always wanted to write, though, and that desire has led, most recently, to this collection of candid essays. In them, Carty explores his own experiences navigating religious fervor, spiritual confusion, academic dishonesty, superficial and genuine friendships, temporary employment and vocational purpose, and romantic entanglements. His frank disclosure, coupled with his gentle, self-deprecating humor, is disarming and endearing, and perhaps most importantly accessible and relatable. Whether his readers identify as religious or secular, most will connect with Cartys writing, and find his self-awareness and introspection both refreshing and inspiring.
