Shepton Mallet Book Launch!

I realised with horror that May 5th is actually only just over a week away, and that's the date of my most local book launch event for From Dark Places. Without further ado, here are the details:

Local author book launch!

Thursday May 5th 7-9pm

Chats Cafe, Shepton Mallet High St

Free glass of wine

Books on sale for £7.99

Readings by the author (oh, that's me), copies signed in person.

Why Chats Café?

Well, earlier in the year, Shepton Mallet held its Love Our Libraries Day in various venues throughout the town as well as the library, and my first ever "Meet the author" event was held in Chats. The people are lovely and the tea there is very good. It's also slap bang in the middle of Shepton Mallet High Street, and lord knows we're all keen to get people to come into the centre of town.

As Chats is a café it also means I can offer people a free glass of wine as a little bribe added incentive to come along and support a local author.

Isn't that the same day as the local elections?

Um… yes, but I'm hoping that if people are out and about voting (which only takes a few minutes anyway) they'll fancy a glass of wine and a story or two on the way home.

So, if you live in Shepton and surrounds, it would be great to see you. Please do tell your friends, and here is a link to a poster if you are a particularly kind book-loving soul who works somewhere with a notice board… Shepton Book Launch Poster (Made by the lovely @FutureNostalgic – thanks Sam!)

I have set up an Eventbrite ticket thingy, so you can reserve your free ticket there, or contact me from here, or just comment below to let me know you're coming – it helps me to a) sleep better in the run up knowing that someone will be there and b) let's me know how many bottles of wine to bring as a minimum.

Thanks!

P.S. There are also launch parties in London on May 7th, Bristol May 21st and in Oxford May 25th. Then I will fall over.
