Well. What a night. Thanks again to the 120 people who made the effort to come out and listen to little ole’ me. Cheltenham Racecourse Panoramic Restaurant ended up being the perfect venue. Everyone had a glass in hand and an amazing view to accompany it. I spoke for thirty odd minutes (I amazed even myself!) about the book itself, the industry and the writing process. Some great questions too which I really enjoyed and then it was freebie handout time. It was truly an amazing experience for me to see so many people clutching a copy of my book. After that, it was curry time. Plenty of beer and great food.
I have been getting some great feedback already from people who have started reading. And even a few who have finished the book AND REVIEWED IT! Thanks for that. And also seen a nice spike in kindle sales, which is exciting.
Now, after all that planning and adrenalin it’s back into the quiet seat again. Been working on the sequel to ‘The Whisper of Stars’. It was all going so well but then, logic struck again. NO SPOILERS AHEAD : )
One of the themes of the sequel is how, even in a heavily policed society, people manage to group together and fight oppression. Who these people are though, and how they come together is a tough challenge.
Planing session with Ian next Friday. Well needed…
