Catch up

Apologies for not catching up for such a long time! However, my latest novel 'I Hear a Melody' was published earlier this month. The whole process took much longer than was anticipated. It could be seen as a sequel for Masquerade or stand-alone story. It also has a musical background as did Masquerade. We had a very successful book launch at The Word Bookshop, South London on September 19th. It was a pleasure to see so many of my lovely friends as they arrived to join the evening. It will come as no surprise that we welcomed them with a quiet jazz background. The launch was hosted by my daughters, Natalie and Annette; two of my writer friends: Allison Parkinson and Jo Bedingfield led the questions and discussions while I responded and enjoyed sharing my work with a few short readings. We followed this up with a Zoom launch on September 26th, which was also a fun evening, chaired and hosted by Annette. It was another fabulous event, including stimulating and thoughtful discussions with those who attended. I have many beautiful memories of my eldest brother Victor, who taught me everything I know and love about jazz. 'I Hear a Melody' is dedicated to him. Best wishes to you all! Anna
