First public appearance talking about If I Die Before I Wake - and other news

This week I had my first public appearance talking about If I Die Before I Wake - at an event at Cheltenham Literature Festival.It all went really well. I couldn't have asked for better company on stage, being interviewed by Caroline Sanderson alongside Imogen Hermes Gowar and Mary Lynn Bracht. Their excellent debuts are also out in January - Imogen's The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock is a hilarious 18th century romp about a widower, a courtesan and a grotesque mermaid; Mary's White Chrysanthemum is a heartbreaking but beautiful story about Korean sisters separated by war. It was interesting to have three such different books being discussed in the same event.

Here's to many more events talking about the book... see you there?
