Yesterday was the first day of Murder Most Unladylike‘s official release – and I couldn’t have had a better one. I didn’t just get to see my book on shelves, I got to see it sitting on the bestseller shelf in Blackwell’s Oxford. Thanks to all of you Oxford natives (and especially my mother), Murder Most Unladylike is currently top of the Blackwell’s Broad Street bestseller chart, and so when you go into the store, it’s sitting proudly on a shelf of its own.
I’m so delighted – what an incredible thing to happen! I just stood and stared for a bit. It was also on a table in the Children’s section – look at the amazing company I’m in!
Then, as if that wasn’t exciting enough, I did my first ever author signing.
Blackwell’s Oxford is being so supportive – they’re hosting a launch for me on the 28th, in fact, to which you are ALL invited – and I’m very glad to be able to say that they are now in possession of a VERY LARGE number of signed copies of Murder Most Unladylike. If you are anywhere near Oxford, do stop by and pick one up – and tell them I sent you!
