The first book launch event!

On Friday the 8th of April (if the nerves don’t kill me first) I’ll be having my first ever book launch. It’s for From Dark Places and here are the details:

Time: 6 – 8pm 8th April 2011
Location: Cornerhouse Manchester  in one of the upstairs rooms – I’ll make sure there are signs up on the day.

Can you come?

My biggest fear is that the shiny room my lovely Dad is hiring for me as a present will be practically empty. I think that fear is universal for authors with impending book launches. So, if you can possibly make it, please do come. Why?

  • Because I will be selling the first paperback copies hot off the press
  • I will sign your copy
  • If you buy a copy as a present, I’ll write a lovely note to the person it’s for
  • You’ll get to be part of the next anthology – details revealed at the event
  • You will get to hear two of the stories read live (by me)
  • Heavy-breasted maidens will sing your name down the ages
  • You’ll help to make a nervous author’s dream come true…

Even if you can’t make it, please help me to spread the word – online networks are marvellous things and who knows, a friend of yours might be able to come instead.

If you are planning to come, it would be super-duper helpful if you could either say so in the comments or drop me a line through the contact doohickey at the top. Then I’ll be able to sleep at night knowing someone will be there.

I also intend to have events in Bath, Oxford, London and of course, the lovely Shepton Mallet. And for all you lovely souls who live a long way away from all of those locations, I am planning to have a virtual launch… details on that to follow soon.

So, Friday 8th April, Manchester Cornerhouse 6-8pm, please come and support From Dark Places!
