The evening is closing in and the dust is settling on the
momentous events of the Day’s Dying Glory book launches. Last night, in Orkney, we hosted the final
event and from now on it will be word of mouth, reviews, and the astoundingly
eye-catching front cover which will sell my book. But what a range of events they have been!

| The book to look for! |
From Barton-upon-Humber, with its lavish opening - the Duckegg
performances; the stunning cake – through the inspirational Library of
Innerpeffray – where the sense of history through and beyond the setting of the
novel was perfect – to the fun launch in Orkney – creating some of the book’s
characters as the readers perceived them - each one will have a special place
in my heart. But to all of you who
attended any of the events: thank you! And to all of you who have encouraged and supported the book: thank
you! I’ve had such positive comments
from people I would never have known had it not been for this book and I am really
enjoying encountering my readers.
If you’ve read the book, please review it on Amazon, Goodreads or
both. I am so proud of the comments I’ve
received so far, I’d love to share them with the world! Here are a couple of snippets from some of
the reviews:
“It is a
very good read, with a very unpredictable and gripping story line.”
“I could
really identify with each of the main characters and the development of each
was very well thought out. I would definitely recommend the book…”
“It is a
really gripping plot as well. Part of me was expecting a run-of-the-mill
romance novel but the unexpected twists and turns got my heart thumping in
suspense and the book can get quite dark and gritty after a seemingly peaceful beginning.”
“To say
this book is a romance is probably underselling it a little bit. In many ways,
it is an adventure story: just the kind of adventures that the average person
can accidentally find themselves in!”
“Loved
the building of the characters and the descriptions of places and people put
images in my mind of how it must have been like back then…”
They can’t all be wrong!
And here are a couple of pictures
from the different launches. Thanks for
reading!
