TEESSIDE BOOK LAUNCH @ MIDDLESBROUGH LIBRARY
Chris, Ross and Beth pose with me for the Middlesbrough Gazette photographer
Friday 9th December 2011: Flanked by my wonderful family, loyal friends and several members of the public who had all braved the freezing weather, we arrived at the beautiful library in the centre of Middlesbrough for my Teesside book launch. The first job of the night was an interview with a reporter from the 'Middlesbrough Gazette' and a photo session.
Talking about the research and discovering the skeleton in the family closet
Then I moved to the main table to talk about how Chris and I had discovered the family 'black sheep' and how I had turned the story of Jamie Charlton into a novel.
Reading Chapter Eleven
Helped by my good friends Jill and Sam (his excellency, the Cultural Attache for Boosbeck) we read a few extracts from Catching the Eagle and I answered questions from the audience. In the background, was an great slide show prepared by my daughter, Beth.
Book signing
Finally, there was time for chatting with our guests and signing a few copies of the novel.
It was a lovely evening which I thoroughly enjoyed. I sincerely hope that everybody else enjoyed it as much as I did.
Thanks to Jill and Sam for helping me with the reading; to Iain Wolstencroft for the photographs and to Sara Dennis of Middlesbrough Library for organising the event.
