A few snaps from John Wilcox’s Book Launch

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Last night we enjoyed a merry evening at the lovely Goldsboro Books celebrating the launch of John Wilcox‘s eighth book in his acclaimed Simon Fonthill series, The War of the Dragon Lady.  And here are a few snaps from the night.

The Man of the Moment – sporting a conspicuous suntan, having just returned from South Africa where he was researching his next book (read his blog post pre-flight to South Africa here).

John Wilcox’s friend, ex-colleague (back when he worked at the Birmingham Gazette) and caricaturist John Jensen and his agent (Wilcox’s, not Jensen’s) Jane Conway-Gordon.

Literary agent Broo Doherty, crime-writer Ruth Dudley Edwards and fabulous host David Headley.

The other star of the evening, David’s dog, Toby – totally unfazed (and seemingly unimpressed) by all the fanfare.

    Going Too Far, by Catherine Alliott. Susie: I rarely read 'girly' books but came across Alliott a few years ago. I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
