If I sold that many books in a week I'd be a happy man. The signing yesterday at La Grande Galerie - see http://www.grandegaleriefrance.com/ - was a great success. Thank you to all who attended and of course those bought my novel.
Many thanks to Eileen who organised the event and provided the bubbly. On a hot day in sunny France it was much appreciated.
I met a lot of lovely people and had some very interesting chats, about growing up on a council estate in the 1940s for example, as well as making good contacts. I now have a provisional booking for a signing June 2012, and September 2012. These may seem distant and few, but there is little opportunity for English Language writers in France. Rather obviously, as most of the population speaks French!
But in the near future there is another signing event on the 25th of July 2011, and then in Spring 2012 I have been invited to a Writers Event in Leicester UK. There isn't a date yet for the Leicester Writers Event, so more details will follow. But it is by all accounts set to be pretty big.
The Doctor, The Plutocrat, and The Mendacious Minister is now available as Nook from Barnes and Noble, store and on line, as well as an iPad, Amazon Kindle, and sony. Also at the Cactus Rain site http://www.cactusrainpublishing.com/the_doctor.html and at http://www.stephenbutt.co.uk/shopcatalogue.htm priced £9.99 including world wide postage.
or from me, Glyn Pope, at £9.99 or 11.50euros inc. worldwide postage.

NB if you want a copy of 'The Doctor, The Plutocrat, and The Mendacious Minister' (paperback signed) then it is cheaper to buy it from me than the American publishers, unless you live in France. From me it will cost you either, £9.99, 11.50euros, or 17US dollars. All prices include postage. For other currencies please ask.

Glyn,
ReplyDeleteWhen I come to England, I shall visit this lovely [old] hall. Maybe you will be there again, signing books.
