IN OTHER STORIES launched at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront

We had a full house at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront for the launch of In Other Stories, edited by Kerry Hammerton. Kerry was in conversation with Nancy Richards.

Most of the flash anthology contributors were present. A few are first-time published authors, which made the launch so much more special. It was an incredibly joyous occasion and a beautiful way to welcome the book into the world. Thank you to all for making it happen and to all who shared the celebration with us! Happy reading!

On 21 September, Kerry is running a flash fiction workshop in view of compiling the next anthology of flashes. Click here for details: FLASH FICTION WORKSHOP.

DOT TO DOT by Lisa Tredoux launched at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront

Our first children’s book (for children between five & hundred and five) was officially launched at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront last night: Dot to Dot by Lisa Tredoux. It was a truly heart-warming occasion.

Lisa was in conversation with fellow actor and children’s book author, Bianca Flanders.

It was an evening of sheer storytelling delight. Thank you to all involved! I went home smiling, and this morning, the coffee in my Freckolion mug tasted so much better than usual 🙂 Happy reading!
