Two wonderful Guggenheim Mystery events!

August 28, 2017

I had a wonderful end to my August Guggenheim Mystery event schedule!

On Saturday 26th August I visited Waterstones Bath and on Sunday 27th August I went to Waterstones Brighton. I met some wonderful booksellers and lots of lovely fans – it’s been so wonderful to travel around England and talk to you all about my books.

Below are some of my favourite pictures from the events. If you came along, thank you so much! And if holidays or location meant that you couldn’t make it, don’t worry. I’ll be at Waterstones Birmingham at 2pm on September 10th, I’ll be doing THREE festivals in October (watch this website for more details) as well as TWO weeks of school tours in October and November, so I promise there will be loads more chances to meet me.

I met a real-life Verity in Bath! We were both very excited.

Daisy has ALL of my books! And her name is Daisy.

Then I went into Toppings in Bath to sign stock – and surprised Sophia, who loves my books and didn’t know I’d be there!

These are all the books I signed. My poor hand!

At Waterstones Brighton I met Clare, who’s been to see me before!

And here’s Ella, proud owner of ALL OF MY BOOKS.

And Izzy, who’s reviewing The Guggenheim Mystery for Scoop Magazine!
