Hello? Is anyone out there? It's been so long between blog postings, there's a very good chance I am shouting into a vacuum with this posting -- but in the event there are a couple of London-based or London-bound ATLP fans, this one's for you.'A Town Like Paris' is finally being published in the UK and should be available in bookstores from mid-January.
To mark this most auspicious occasion, the Showgirl and I are popping across the Channel for a special launch event.
Australian author in London, Kathy Lette, has kindly agreed to perform the honours and give ATLP its official UK launch at a soirée in the venerable Marylebone bookstore, Daunt Books.
There will be Aussie wine (thanks to Thompson Estate) and in keeping with Aussie tradition, a real-life raffle of a hamper of Aussie delicacies (courtesy of The Australian Shop)
We're welcoming all-comers -- so if you happen to be in the vicinty, don't hesitate to drop in and say hello.
UK LAUNCH EVENT DETAILS
Thursday 29 January
6.30pm-8pm
Daunt Books
83 Marylebone High St
London W1U 4QW
Hope to see you there ...
PS: Yes, the photo above is the new Aussie cover. Another fantastic photo from the exceedingly talented Carla Coulson - whose new book, Paris Tango, has to be seen to be believed. It's a photographic triumph!
