For years I’ve been walking past my local bookshops imagining a book of my own there in the window.

In the event, the first shop I would see it displayed in was Rossiter Books in Ross-on-Wye, the second stop on my book tour. Great to deliver my talk to a full house, and to meet the team at one of Andy and Victoria Rossiter’s chain of six lovingly curated independent bookshops.

Great to be invited to David’s Bookshop in Letchworth Garden City on the day of the book’s UK launch.

It can be tough to draw a crowd on the first leg of a book tour, especially for a debut writer, so I cheated and loaded the room with friends and family. It was a great way to celebrate publication day, delivering my illustrated talk for the very first time to an audience full of familiar faces.
