After weeks of planning the launch of my new novel ‘Two for the Road’ finally came together with about 100 family and friends gathering for a great night of celebration at a tow truck yard. As a struggling author financing the event (contrary to popular belief publishers do not bankroll extravagant launches for anyone but the BIG authors) I had to be resourceful and as always am amazed at the generosity of my fellow human beans. De Bortoli sponsored the wine - which was brilliant! I approached the event management faculty at ICMS and asked for student volunteers and got a bumper crop. Here they all are in their ‘towie’ vests - their own idea, which was fabulous. They did a great job and we had a wonderful night all round. The book actually hits the bookshops on April 7th and I’m here, there and everywhere doing signings etc - details of which are on my Facebook page.
Had a great time!
Thank-you
Thank you for inviting me, Amanda. It was a heartwarming experience. Now, if I can just get my own published …….
