A Weekend of A Spoonful of Murder signings!

February 12, 2018

It’s been a wonderful weekend for me – on Saturday I spoke at London’s Imagine Festival, and on Sunday I visited Bluewater shopping centre in Kent to sign my books.

It was amazing to see so many excited and enthusiastic fans at both events (there was a huge queue at Bluewater – so big that I was actually curious to find out who they were waiting for … before I realised that they were all there for me) and to hear about how much Daisy and Hazel mean to everyone. I am so proud to inspire you all, and I feel very lucky!

Below are some of my favourite pictures from the events. As you can see, I have the best fans ever!

A Detective Society – complete with hats! – at Imagine Festival

Two fans with their books – and I’ve been told that the girl on the right is going to be Hazel this World Book Day!

A very enthusiastic fan who had lots of brilliant ideas for the title of my next book …

This Detective Society member came all the way from home with her mum just to have her book signed – she’s a megafan!

I also got to meet my Norwegian translator at the Imagine event – Hanne is wonderful, and I know Hazel and Daisy are in good hands with her!

First in the (ENORMOUS!) queue at Bluewater!

I love this Guggenheim Mystery fan art – how brilliant is it?!

It’s official – my books do not fit in a small Amazon box any more …

With one of the Detective Society’s most committed members!
