With all the theatre hubbub going on lately, it’s easy for me to forget that there’s a little matter of a novel out there, still waiting to be spread around. Despite the bits and bobs of pr we’ve done for Tangled Roots, I still can’t shake the feeling that I have to sell each book myself so I’m taking my “show” back on the road. Here are the details:
Tuesday, 16 September 2008
Waterstones
115 Commercial Road
Portsmouth, UK
11.30 am to 2.00 pm
Please do drop by and say hi if you’re in the area!! And then, thanks to DJ Kirkby, I’ll be chatting with the good folk at 93.7 Express FM the following day. I’ll let you know when that interview will be aired.
And speaking of pr — as so many of you know already, Caroline Smailes is definitely the creative queen when it comes to these things, and her latest foray into what I like to call “guerrilla pr” is her amazing new widget for her latest, greatly anticipated novel, Black Boxes. I’m going to make this posting short so I can now sit down and figure out how to get it onto my blog page. Then it will be fun, fun, fun watching the thing flip around and lead us to marvelous
new places.
But before I leave, I must also thank Carol for the lovely award:
You’ve made my day. And now, as per the rules, I’l pass it on to some others. Here you go Absolute Vanilla, DJ, Sarah, Vanessa, Tania.
Thank you, Sue, that is lovely. I will now pass it on! What a great award to get. (PS Still no sign of my Tangled Roots, can I buy one from you, pay you by Paypal?)
“Guerrilla pr” ha! No, it’s a bit of fun. I prefer to think of it as blog tourism 🙂
Enjoy your signing/radio interview. Dj is very very lovely!

Aw, Sue, thanks! That’s so sweet of you. I must go and check out Caroline’s new widget, I keep reading about it on her Facebook page!
Good luck with the Portsmouth event – hope it goes really well!
Sue, all the best for the signing.
Good luck in Portsmouth Sue. Hope you sell loads!
Ta very much for my award. I will pass it on this Sunday. xo
Hello! Reached here via Black Boxes. Your book sounds interesting – I’ll check it out!
Kathryn
Best wishes for the signing and for the radio interview: I hope they bring much success and some fun.
So many good books coming out this autumn… (thank goodness my birthday’s coming up…yours is on my list!)
The award is well deserved :-).
Good luck with your signing and with the radio interview. Your book is now waiting for me at my Mum’s house in Scotland….can’t wait to pick it up when I get there!! (You know what will happen don’t you….I’ll go over there to spend time with the family and will end up with my nose firmly stuck in your book!!)

Thanks everyone. And Kathryn — glad you found me!
xoxo all.
Hi Sue. I knew I recognised the name – I have your book in my ‘to read’ pile!
Thanks for the award, Sue, and good luck with the signing and interview. x
Ha! I see you’ve also been hit by blackbox fever! 😉
Hi Sue! I’m popping in via the black box. :^)
I am just catching up on a lot of lovely things, and this award is great.
Thank you!
But Im afraid I am a curmudgeonly old sod, and dont pass these things on. I will just keep it to myself.
