Settled Blood launched by Forum Books

On Wednesday 7th November, Settled Blood was launched by my local independent bookshop: Forum Books. It was standing room only in Tea & Tipple, a venue that lent itself to mingling with guests over a glass of wine beforehand. We were a bit late kicking off but no one seemed to mind, such was the informality of an evening with Mari Hannah! 

Thanks for being such a brilliant crowd. There were lots of lovely books signed. Three cheers to Helen Stanton and her wonderful staff for working so hard to make launch night such a huge success. It seemed to me that the whole village turned up to meet their very own crime writer.

Thursday saw a double celebration in my house, publication day and a family birthday! More books to sign and fun to be had, topped off with a lovely bottle of bubbly sent by Pan Macmillan. You shouldn't have ... oh, go on then - if you insist!
