On the
run-up to publication of THE CORPSE BRIDGE this week, I was asked to write a piece for the
blog of UK booksellers Waterstones, where I talk about the role the Peak District
plays in the Cooper & Fry series. They call it 'Building The Corpse Bridge'.
You can read the full blog piece here:
You can
also get a sneak peek of the new book on the CrimeVault website:
Several
launch events for
THE CORPSE BRIDGE are coming up soon. It's always great to see lots of Cooper
& Fry readers, so come along if you get the chance.
First
off, I'll be appearing at Gedling Book Festival in Nottingham this Friday (20th
June). This is a terrific three-day festival, which is now in its second year.
It's hosted by Gedling Borough Council and organised by New Writers UK. Friday
is Crime and History Day, with events taking place at the Bonington Theatre in
Arnold.
All the events are free, and my session is at 1.30pm. Waterstones
Nottingham will be on hand with books for sale. More details of the festival are
here:
Immediately
after my appearance at Gedling Book Festival, I'll be heading off into
Derbyshire to do a launch evening at Chesterfield Library, starting at 7.30pm. This
is again organised in conjunction with Waterstones Chesterfield, who will be
providing the book stall. This is a ticketed event (tickets
£3, concessions £2) available from the library. To make sure of a place,
phone 01629 533400.
These
events will be followed by signings at several bookshops in the
area. On Saturday (21st June), I'll be at Bookworm in Retford,
Nottinghamshire, from 10am to 12 noon, then from 2.30pm I'll be signing THE
CORPSE BRIDGE at Scarthin Books in Cromford, Derbyshire. Both will be happy to
reserve signed copies for you. Contact Bookworm on 01777 869224 or
sales@bookwormretford.co.uk,
while Scarthin can be contacted on 01629 823272 or
nickscarthin@gmail.com.
Next
week, I'll be doing an evening event at Waterstones in Derby (Thursday 26th
June, 7pm start), and on Saturday 28th I'll be down in Buckinghamshire to take
part in the BeaconLit Festival at Ivinghoe, near Leighton Buzzard: http://www.beaconlit.co.uk/
Later
in the year, watch out for more library events in Barnard Castle in County
Durham, St Anne's in Lancashire, Ecclesfield in Bradford, Hinckley in
Leicestershire, Walsall in the West
Midlands, and a visit being planned to Northern Ireland.
There will also be a
special Summer Crime Party at Heffers' bookshop in Cambridge, and I'll be back
at 'Not the Hay Festival' in Beeston, Nottingham, during October.
