I’m going to be launching my novel ‘Serpentine’ later this month in
what looks certain to be a true party atmosphere. Why a party? Because the
event is being hosted by Gruntlers Theatre and they’re going to be three years old
and are, I’m sure, delighted to have an excuse for wine, cake, poetry and music.
They’ve even invited people to wear outrageous costumes if they so desire. I have
to admit, I’m not really an outrageous costume person, so along with my
publisher Kay Green of Circaidy Gregory Press, I intend to turn up in my
customary jeans – but don’t let that stop you if you want to dress up.
So, what’s going to happen? I’m not exactly sure, but having
participated in Gruntlers events in the past, I know it’ll be lively and
enjoyable and all will be made welcome. At the very least, Kay will say some
nice words about me and I’ll read some of the book as well as signing copies.
The rest is down to the Gruntlers – and if you’re wondering about the name ‘Gruntlers’,
just think ‘disgruntled’ and then think the opposite.
The details:
The event kicks off at 7pm
on Monday, 26th November, at the Poetry Cafe in Betterton
Street, Covent Garden. You’ll
find it listed on the Poetry Society’s events page here.
Tickets will be available on the door, but if you bring a
really interesting cake to share, you’ll quite likely get in for nothing.
If you want to know more about ‘Serpentine’ the novel, check
it out on my website here and the publisher’s website here.
I look forward to seeing you there!
