Book launch party at the Union Club in Soho!

What a week! Monday night saw the launch of my book at the Union Club in Soho. It was a suitable ‘countryside’ venue with moose heads, bookcases and squashy sofas galore. Moet and Chandon very kindly supplied the bubbles and a good time was had by all. On Wednesday, I went on BBC Radio Northampton. The DJ, an Aussie called Bernie Keith was a jolly sort – until he started reading out excerpts from the book about certain ‘members’ nestling where they shouldn’t be. I nearly fell off my chair until Bernie reminded me it was a prerecord and wasn’t going out live. Yesterday I went on heat radio to talk about the return of the bonkbuster. The interviewer asked me if any of the characters were based on me. Given that most of them are champagne swilling or sex mad, I had to say no of course! I’ve had some fab reviews so far and five stars all the way on Amazon, which is brilliant. Next Wednesday I have a book signing at my parents’ local pub, the Crown in Northill, Bedfordshire. If you’re in the area, come on down! It’s a gorgeous little place where I spent many hours of my misspent youth. Right, better shoot, I am off down to the Gower coast camping. The weather forecast predicts torrential rain. Oh the joy of British weather. You’d never get a summer like that in Churchminster….

   Just got back from your book launch at The Crown in Northill. How exciting for you Jo, I am so delighted with your success. I love the book and shall look forward to the next one. What a remarkable young woman you have turned into, far removed from those days of St Andrews and the Pony Club; I always knew you were a character, but a lovable one nevertheless!
   Jo, I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope that you keep working on your literary ideas. I shall keep a keen but fond eye on your future.
   lots of love
   Jo D-P
