An Invitation to a Launch Party

[marc_chagall]

I'm going to be launching my novel 'Serpentine' later this month in what looks certain to be a true party atmosphere. Why a party? Because the event is being hosted by Gruntlers Theatre and they're going to be three years old and are, I'm sure, delighted to have an excuse for wine, cake, poetry and music. They've even invited people to wear outrageous costumes if they so desire. I have to admit, I'm not really an outrageous costume person, so along with my publisher Kay Green of Circaidy Gregory Press, I intend to turn up in my customary jeans – but don't let that stop you if you want to dress up.

So, what's going to happen? I'm not exactly sure, but having participated in Gruntlers events in the past, I know it'll be lively and enjoyable and all will be made welcome. At the very least, Kay will say some nice words about me and I'll read some of the book as well as signing copies. The rest is down to the Gruntlers – and if you're wondering about the name 'Gruntlers', just think 'disgruntled', and then think the opposite.

The details:
The event kicks off at 7pm on Monday, 26th November, at the Poetry Cafe in Betterton Street, Covent Garden. You'll find it listed on the Poetry Society's events page here. 

Tickets will be available on the door, but if you bring a really interesting cake to share, you'll quite likely get in for nothing.

Hope a few of you will be able to get to this event!

They've withdrawn the 'bring a cake and get in free' offer! Not fair! Oh well. Can't be many cafes that are happy for you to bring your own food and drink, I suppose. The only concession they're making is that if you buy a ticket to the event in advance, you'll get cake and wine free.
