To celebrate the publication of Timesmith last week the nice people at Waterstones Middlesbrough arranged for me to do a signing event in their store.
Apart from the launch event for Sorrowline, which was a different sort of event, it’s the first time I’ve done a book shop appearance. When I do school events the audience doesn’t have a lot of choice about being there – although I hope they enjoy themselves – but a bookstore audience is very different. Apart from a few friends who dropped by (with a cuppa and a muffin, thank you very much!) the majority of people were passing customers who hadn’t heard of me or my books before. In spite of my lack of infamy they were keen to talk, ask about my books and even purchase them! And not just Sorrowline! Many took the plunge and bought both books!
I had a great time meeting, chatting and signing, and I can’t wait to do my next book shop event! There’s talk of more soon, once it’s confirmed I’ll put the details on my events page.

It’s here at last! My second book is officially published today and it feel so much different to when my first book, Sorrowline, came out.
Last year we marked the day with a trip to York and champagne in First Class – I even bought myself a ukulele! That was January last year. This time round publication has landed on World Book Day and it’s a busy week! I’ve been doing lots of visits to libraries and schools this week and today I’m travelling to Leeds to The Morley Academy! I’m really looking forward to it, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the launch of Timesmith and celebrate World Book Day all in one go!
If, like me, you live in the North East of England you might want to come along to my book signing event in Waterstones Middlesbrough. It’s happening on Saturday 15th March between 11 and 2. It’d be great to see you there!
Enjoy World Book Day!
