Author events – November and December 2014

MMU-cvrfront

MMU-cvrfrontI’ve got a busy few months ahead! I’ve been lucky enough to be invited to do some really exciting events at several fantastic venues in the run-up to Christmas (yes, it’s coming…). All of the below are free and open to anyone who wants to come along, so if you are in the area I’d love to meet you. It’s incredibly exciting to be able to talk to you all about Murder Most Unladylike (I’m still quite excited that there are people out there who have actually read my book) – and if you ask very nicely I might even let you know more about what’s coming up for Daisy and Hazel in their next two adventures…

On Saturday the 8th of November, at 1pm, I’ll be visiting Cambridge Waterstones to help you design your very own top secret Detective Society. I’ll be available to sign books and chat to you about Daisy, Hazel and the Wells & Wong Mysteries – please do come along!

On Saturday the 15th of November, at 4pm, I’ll be at the Tower Hamlets WriteIdea Festival to introduce and chair Tanya Byrne’s talk about her amazing novels, and about diversity in YA. The event is free, and we’ll both be signing copies of our books afterwards – again, we’d love to see you there!

On Wednesday the 19th of November, at 3:30pm, I’ll be at Blackwell’s Oxford with fellow Carnegie nominees Sally Nicholls, Susie Day and Jo Cotterill to launch Broad Street’s annual Giving Tree, an incredible Christmas charity drive that aims to give books to children who wouldn’t normally receive them. I’m so honoured to be a part of this – it’s a fantastic scheme and I’ve bought books for the Giving Tree every year it’s been running. I hope you’ll all come along – and I also hope that you’ll support the cause this year.

On Thursday the 11th of December, at 6:30pm, I’ll be one of the lucky authors at Waterstones Hampstead’s Christmas author evening, talking about and signing Murder Most Unladylike. Come along and share a glass of Prosecco (or ginger beer) with me!

On Saturday the 13th of December, at 10:30am, I’ll be at Waterstones Cheltenham to help you get into the Christmas spirit. I’ll be there to sign copies of Murder Most Unladylike and help you find out whether you’re more like Hazel or Daisy. And, of course, to suggest the perfect stocking fillers for aspiring detectives …
