I got so caught up in Solstice shorts, I forgot to post these! Thought I’d done it because I’d done snippets on Twitter.
A very successful outing to Manchester Blackwells, with authors travelling in from Newcastle, London and Ynys Mon, and some locals!
Thanks to everyone at Blackwells for making us so welcome (good luck with the move!)
and to the audience for making it such an excellent evening, and buying books!

One of my favourite moments in the book production process – running sheets.
An Outbreak of Peace our response to the up coming centenary of the end of WWI is in shops on 8th November, and launches at Housmans, London on Wednesday 14th, and Blackwells, Manchester on the 30th November, with readings, cake and liquid refreshments.
You can pre-order a copy direct from us NOW, we should have our advance copies by the end of next week, or early the following week, for those of you who can’t wait.
So excited to be launching We/She on 16th August at 6.45pm
Blackwells, 50 High Holborn London WC1V 6EP
(nearest tube Chancery Lane/ Holborn)
We/She is our latest Liars’ League collaboration and the second of our #WomenVote100 tributes – although there isn’t a suffragette in sight. Instead we play around with traditional ideas about women, and turn a few (actually, a lot of) myths on their heads.
It’s free and there will be readings and refreshments, and, obviously, signed books to buy.
Other authors are attending, so there will be lots of people to sign a copy of the book for you.
Expect dragons, opera singers, mothers… and Elvis
The launch coincides with the 39th anniversary of the death of Elvis. What has that to do with a book of stories by women, you ask… come along and find out!
RSVP
One of my favourite moments in the publishing process – when I have the only copies… apart from the distributor of course.
(In case Michele sees this we did NOT break your plate. Clever fakery!)
We/She will be launched at
Blackwells
50 High Holborn
London

on Thursday 16th August. More on that later.
