Also a big “thank you” to Dr Annaliese Connolly for framing and posing the questions on the night…
And a big “thank you” to Jo and the staff at Waterstone’s Sheffield for supporting a local writer, and their continued support by promoting The Hoard of Mhorrer and The Secret War…
…Next stop, Goldsboro Books, London – and another supporter of my books and Macmillan New Writing as a whole: proprietor David Headley, who heavily promoted The Secret War in hardback from the beginning, and accounts for a large chunk of the sales. It seems fitting, therefore, that any launch in London would be held by Goldsboro Books, repaying the loyalty that David has shown me since I was published two years ago.
That and Goldsboro’s fantastic reputation for book launches.
I’ve attended a few Macmillan New Writing launches there over the last three years, and they’ve always been fun, busy events (and expensive, I might add - I usually part with more cash than I expect to, being lured like a magpie to the shiny covers of signed first editions that crowd the shop – the place is an Aladdin’s cave!). So if you’re coming, and you have a penchant for first editions, bring some extra cash; I’ll see you there…
(PS: If you live in the South Yorkshire area, you’ll be able to catch me talking about The Hoard of Mhorrer on BBC Radio Sheffield, Tuesday, 11:10am)
