Live Book Launch and Reading!


Well, it's finally here - my very first book launch and reading of Dangerous Deceit. It began with a fun cyber launch in May for the e-book and now it's a live launch of the print book in front of family, friends and acquaintances!

To make it more interesting and fun (I hope), I'm dressing in vaguely Regency-style, adapted from what I already have. It won't be completely authentic, but will give a flavour of the evening fashion of the period. I also have a fan, parasol, shawl, something that will pass for a reticule, and even a mask - although I won't be wearing the latter. Think I must be a frustrated actress!


The lovely venue is the Watt Hall, in the Victorian era MacLean Museum in my original home town of Greenock, from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, this evening, Monday 3rd October. I don't know whether to be excited or nervous, or both!

Congratulations, Rosemary! I feel so excited for you. The venue looks perfect, truly beautiful. And it is a wonderful idea to dress in the period costume too. I am sure you will have an amazing evening and I shall be thinking of you at 6.30. You must be looking forward to it so much and I'm certain you will enjoy every single minute. You deserve it. Let us know all the details!
