If you’ve enjoyed getting to know Poppy Denby and her friends in The Jazz Files, you’ll be delighted to know that book 2, The Kill Fee, will be published on 16 September. There will be a launch party at Blackwell’s Bookshop, Percy Street, Newcastle, on Thursday 22 September, 6 – 7.30pm. If you are in the Newcastle area you are welcome to come to this free event. There’ll be free drinks and nibbles, live jazz and a reading from Poppy’s next adventure. For details of how to get to Blackwell’s,check out their website here
This year I shall not be wearing a feather boa as I do not want a repeat of the allergic reaction I had last year, the day before the Jazz Files launch, immortalised below by my cartoonist friend Chris Chris Bambrough.
Hi Fiona,
I don’t know if you’ll remember me, but I organise the book group that you so kindly visited last January. When I saw that the new book was about to launch I was very excited and will be getting in touch with my book group buddies to see if we can arrange a gang to come to the Blackwells on 22nd September. Very excited to read Poppy’s next adventure. Best wishes
Sarah (on behalf of Benton Bookworms)
Hello Sarah! Of course I remember you. It will be such fun if the Bookworms come to the launch. Ask them to wear 1920s gear if possible
Would you be able to let me know how many are coming as soon as you know – for catering purposes? Either send a message through the ‘contact’ form or ask Petra for my personal email which she has.
Hope to see you soon!
Fiona
