Well, it was a launch with a difference. My publisher, his partner and my friend Ann Maree all helped launch 10 messages in bottles containing a slip of paper advertising Crossing Paths. Each slip referred to one of the 52 books in my BookCrossing novel. The ten that were "launched" yesterday referred to the wonderful novel by Italo Calvino - If on a Winter's Night a Traveller. The ten bottles I will be launching next week off Swansea Heads will refer to a Daphne du Maurier novel.
Here's hoping the bottles head down south and that some drift safely to shore.

Everything went off like a dream. Ten messages in bottles launched into Lake Macquarie near the Swansea Channel. I had my supporters around me - Ann Maree, Danuta and new friend Michelle and the delightful Kitty the Newcastle Herald photographer who took great pains to get some good shots. The local fisherman were amused, the weather was beautiful and the tide had turned - all good omens for a successful "bottle/book" launch.
Here are a few pics from yesterday.

A very fun day. If anyone would like to get involved you can contact me and I can personalise a flyer for you to drop into your local ocean!
