Book Festivals and Parties

June and July have been exciting. In A Kingdom by the Sea is published on the 25th July, but my lovely box of books arrived at the end of June. It is always a special moment, the result of months and months of work, held in the palm of your hand…

There were interviews, the glamorous HarperCollins party at the V&A. (The exquisite Dior exhibition was on and it was fantastic to be able to walk around without crowds to enjoy the mind-blowingly beautiful clothes)  @PenzanceLitfest was happening in the same week so I’m still pretty much buzzing…

On Saturday, I was talking about my book with @JaneJohnsonBakr in the wonderful @morrablibrary, one of my favourite places, full of atmosphere and lovely people. It was a full house and great fun.  Afterwards there was champagne  in a friends garden under the trees…

Here are some wonderful photos of the Dior Exhibition, the Morrab library and Cornwall.

Summer is here!. If you love to be transported to other worlds, In A Kingdom by the Sea is on a special Kindle offer  on Amazon for 99p for the whole of July. It will take you to  on a roller coaster ride to Karachi and on long walks down the stunning coastal paths in Cornwall…
