Launch days are exciting times for a writer. Today is a little different though. Bookshops are still closed. Airport and station book-stands are unnaturally quiet. We are all in a curious kind of limbo. Waiting for the summer. Meeting up on zoom calls. Catching up on boxsets. What a time to launch a book.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen, with your permission, let me launch The Many Lives of Heloise Starchild virtually. Ta da! Here it is: (don't you agree it looks gorgeous?)
I am proud of The Many Lives of Heloise Starchild. It feels
like the book I always wanted to write. I
should love for you to read it. And, in the absence of any book signings, or
even of a launch party, I would be happy, instead, to join you and your book-club
(if you have one) on a zoom call if you choose to read the novel. I will try to
join any group that invites me. So please let me know.
And huge thanks to lots of people. To my brilliant editor Fede, to my amazing agent Stan, to my incredible wife Sue, and to all the extraordinary people at W&N Books and Orion. Thank you.
