Two lovely London launches for the Guggenheim!

Guggenhiem launch 1

The Guggenheim Mystery has been well and truly launched!

On Thursday my publishers, Penguin Random House, held a party at Waterstones Piccadilly for friends, family and book people. It was so great to see so many people out to support The Guggenheim Mystery – I felt very lucky, and very well-celebrated! Thank you to everyone who came, and special thanks to Piccadilly for hosting us!

I made New York-themed cupcakes (of course) and we had an art gallery that featured some famous stolen paintings and David Dean’s two beautiful artworks for the book’s cover (one of which has never been seen before – check it out below!

Me with author friends Mo O’Hara, Claire Fayers, Sibeal Pounder and Beth Garrod.
David Dean’s alternative Guggenheim cover – and my New York cupcakes!
Me with the book!

On Saturday I held a public signing at Waterstones Trafalgar Square. They’ve had lots of signings for me in the past and they always do the best set-up – and Saturday was no exception! We had a huge bunbreak spread, and loads of really enthusiastic fans. Thank you to everyone who came – it was amazing to see you!

Our bunbreak!
With Louise, the first person in the queue to have ALL of my books ready for me to sign! They’re getting almost too heavy to lift …
With Sophia, who made me a set of Robin Stevens characters. My favourite has to be Cap’n Pirate Robin!
With Sophie, who has been coming to launches for many years!
With Zara and Jasmine, who are also long-time fans!

If you didn’t get a chance to meet me this weekend, don’t worry. I’m touring around England, and my next stop is Manchester this Saturday!

And it’s also worth knowing that there are a limited number of signed editions of The Guggenheim Mystery available through the Waterstones website. If you can’t make it to see me, you can still have your very own signed copy!
