The wait is nearly over: it’s now just eight days until Jolly Foul Play is officially released.
Last weekend, I visited Dublin for the Mountains to Sea Festival, and got a lovely surprise: the book was available for one day only, to everyone who was at my workshop. I signed my very first copies of it, and it really does look beautiful next to the other three books in the series. We’re creating a rainbow!
If you weren’t there, don’t worry. I’ve got lots of events coming up to celebrate its publication, and I hope you’ll be able to be at one of them:
On Friday 18th March, between 1 and 2pm, I’ll be hosting a Jolly Foul Play Twitter chat, where you can ask me all of your burning questions about the book. The hashtag is #AskRobinStevens, so start planning your questions now!
On Wednesday 23rd March, the day before release, I’ll be at London bookstore Ottie and the Bea to talk about the book – tickets are £2, and I happen to know that they’ll be selling copies a day early!
On Saturday 26th March, at 12 and 3pm, I’m holding a launch at Waterstones Trafalgar Square (tickets are sold out, but it’s worth contacting the store just in case!). I’ll sign copies of the new book – and the old ones, too!
On Friday 1st April at 4pm I’ll be launching the book at Waterstones Birmingham. Contact the store for tickets – they’re still available! Again, I’m happy to sign new books or old!
On Friday 8th April at 3pm I’ll be speaking about the book at Cambridge Literary festival.
On Sunday 10th April at 4pm I’ll be at the Oxford Literary Festival with my partners in crime Katherine Woodfine and Julia Lee. This will be a general mystery event, but Jolly Foul Play will be available, and I’m happy to sign it and all of my other books.
On Tuesday 12th April at 4:00pm I’ll be signing books at Waterstones Milton Keynes. Find out more on their Facebook page.
On Saturday 16th April at 3pm I’ll be launching the book at Waterstones Cambridge. Find out more here!
On Sunday 17th April I’ll be speaking about the book in Dulwich, at Alleyn’s School in the MCT. Get tickets here!
Are you coming to any of these events? If so, let me know! And if you can’t make it, don’t worry! I’m working hard to visit as many places as I can, so keep on watching this website…
