Carlisle library event - the morning after

Last night I had the pleasure of attending Carlisle library alongside top psychological crime thriller writer Sophie Hannah and I have to report that it was a blast. We had a great crowd of avid readers who were kind enough to laugh along with all my cheesey jokes (usually of the self-deprecating variety - but that's me through and through). I'm pretty new to these kinds of events, but I think I did OK. Sophie was a true professional and a interesting and humorous speaker and I enjoyed listening to her tales as much as did the attendees. It was a nice little buzz selling and signing books to people afterwards, and to speak to them personally.
My thanks to all the staff involved - all lovely people - and to Gwen from Bookends bookshop who had plentiful stock for sale - another lovely person.
Afterwards me, my missus and Sophie 'just had to' sample the delights of a local curry house. I'm a weakling when it comes to a good indian meal and 'just had to' partake of the delicious food on offer. For some reason though people aren't getting too close to me this morning. I keep telling myself it's just the garlic...

If you were unable to attend the 'awesome' book launch where Waterstone's was packed out this is your opportunity to come along and purchase a copy of DMD or have your copy personally signed.
