I can definitely say that Jolly Foul Play has been well and truly launched. It has had not one but THREE parties to celebrate its release – and I think the last, in Cambridge, might have been the best yet.
Cambridge Waterstones have been supporters since the first book was published – I used to be a local author, and they got behind the series fantastically. I’ve had two brilliant launches for previous books with them, so I was delighted to come back for Jolly Foul Play‘s launch. Saskia and Sylvie from Waterstones ran a brilliantly well-organised and fun event – I’m very grateful for all of the work they put in!
There was a brilliant turn-out, and I think that in the end, over 200 fans came. I was signing for two hours, and I loved meeting every one of you. I have to give a special mention to Scarlet, who drew me beautiful fan art of Hazel and Daisy, and Sophie, who wrote me a letter in Pig Latin!
The first thirty people in the queue were also entered into a prize draw to win a special detective notebook – congratulations to Stephanie, who won!
If you came, and stood in that queue, thank you so much. I really do have some of the best fans around!
