Last week was my book launch at the gorgeous Notting Hill bookstore Lutyens & Rubinstein. It was a night I’ll never forget – I’m so glad I put the time and money into organising it. It was incredible to have all my friends and family there, as well as book bloggers and other authors I’d only talked to on Twitter, and of course my agent and publishers. I didn’t have a clue though just how busy it was going to be (or hot – the L&R basement is basically an oven for books)! It was a complete whirlwind. Every time I started talking to someone I got swept away by someone else, and I only realised at the end it was because everyone was there for me. I mean, it was my book being launched, my book I was signing (ok that sounds vain, but it was!). It was all rather baffling really, but utterly, utterly amazing.
Here are some snaps my wonderful boyfriend took on the night, and lovely author Rose Mannering also did a vlog you can watch on her blog here.
I made these with Callum’s mum the day before the book launch. Took us hours!

This was how happy I was all night
Can you spot the wonderful Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre there at the back? I went to the launch of their fantastic children’s book Oliver and the Seawigs the next night
Because I was an incoherent mess during my speech, I just want to thank everyone who came one more time. It meant the world to me x
