I’m off for a quick weekend in New York (as one does). It’s part of this “ex-pat” life that you get used to hopping on and off planes to go all sorts of places in too short a time. But it’s my father’s birthday weekend, and although I won’t say which one, it’s a biggie and we’re all getting together to celebrate. So New York City, here I come. Flying out of Heathrow Terminal 5 (gulp) and into JFK (ugh) — the things we do for love!
Then back for a few days until the last leg (for now) of the book tour:
Friday, 20 June 1-2.30 pm Liverpool Waterstones, 14 Bold Street
Saturday, 21 June 1-2.30 pm Manchester Waterstones, 91 Deansgate
BUT STOP THE PRESSES!
I was just walking down the Kings Road in Chelsea, London, doing some last minute errands, when I passed by the window of one of my favourite bookshops in the world, John Sandoe’s. If you’ve never heard of it, check out their website. If you have, it’s worth a visit whenever you’re in London. It is everything a bookshop should ever be — and now even more, because my own Tangled Roots is sitting there, in the front window, part of the ever-changing long row
of books which always makes up the window dressing of this wonderful shop. Take a look:
Okay. I know it’s squeezed in the corner, but even so. Chalk up yet another fantasy come true!
Have a great time in New York
Oh wow Sue, fantastic. Just walking by the bookshop like that? Am very jealous … but have a wonderful weekend in New York.
Cor, New York, Books in windows…fighting off the envy bug here! Have a great trip!
Happy Birthday Sue’s Dad.
Have a lovely weekend Sue and yay to fantasy’s coming true!!

Oh wow – that’s fantastic Sue and it looks like a wonderful bookshop – must look for it next time I’m in London!
Have a wonderful weekend in New York (as one does)! 🙂
OMG! I am so happy for you, that must have been a great feeling! I would ahve gone in there and introduced myself and then thanked them! I hope you have a wonderful time visiting your family and safe travelling.
Wow, Sue, that has to be number one on the list of Most Exciting Things Every Author Prays for! So delighted for you… Did you rush in there?
Have a lovely trip, tell us all about Terminal 5 upon your return.

that’s so exciting! I love Sandoes myself and I’m thrilled to know someone who’s book has actually been in their front window. Congratulations.
Hi Sue – Having your book in your favourite bookshop window is what I and most authors dream of. Congratulations on living the dream!
I’ve just been listening to you on Meet the Author; Tangled Roots sounds fascinating. I look forward to reading it.
Great blog!

Wonderful feeling. Enjoy!
