Book Signing

Much fun and frivolity was had at the Crown pub book signing in Northill last night. I’ve had signings in some pretty glamorous places, but I have to admit this one, at my parents local pub is always my favourite (and most raucous). It’s the place I grew up – the village, not the pub, although I did spend a fair amount of time there – and it has provided me with great inspiration for my Churchminster tales! This signing was extra special because my fab editor Sarah and agent Amanda were there, to meet all the locals and guess which ones are characters in my books (Jack Turner, say no more).

A great crowd turned out and I signed dozens of books (my writing was slightly wobbly by the end of the night after that last glass of bubbly).  Sarah gave a great speech and it was so nice to see so many friends and family there, especially my dad bless him, who was proudly sporting my ‘Vote Bonk!’ rosette from my day campaigning in Trafalgar Square. He did always want me to be a doctor…

Footnote: To the person who stole the rosette off Dad at the end of the night, we know who you are! I bet your wife had quite a shock when you arrived home wearing that, ha ha.
