#REWIND - publication and launch!
We finally got there! Later than planned, REWIND published on Amazon on Thursday 11th July. It's still not on IngramSpark though. Sigh. Hopefully it will be in the next few days. I think relief was my main emotion rather than excitement. There was barely time to think about it all before going off to Harrogate for the Theakston Crime Writing Festival. And then when I came back, it was straight into preparing for my book launch.
As my other books came out during the Covid years, I didn't have launches for them. So, it was lovely to finally share the celebration with friends and family. I have to admit that at first, I wanted a Waterstones launch because that's what authors have. It wasn't possible though so I booked an evening at West Barnes Library. It's become my second home over the last six years with our author events happening there. It was definitely the right place for the REWIND launch! We had a wonderful evening and I don't think it could have gone any better. Here are some photos of the evening.

Good for West Barnes library for hosting your launch. My impression is that book launches have never really recovered from the Covid years. Book shops used to be keen to host them, after all it should be a dead cert for some sales at least. But now... not so much.
