The next public event connected with The Hostage Handbook is on the evening of Friday, 29 January 2010 at the new bookshop in Norwich, The Book Hive. Then the book will receive its Norwich launch, probably starting at 6.30pm and at some point I will read some key extracts from the book and speak a little about the experience. The Book Hive is a great new venture by Henry Layte, who is a writer himself for the stage, and more details about the event, the great new venture that is The Book Hive, and its aims, and invitations etc will appear in this blog nearer the time. The launch will be a celebration of life and books as well and not just simply a book launch. All friends and Norwich readers will of course be welcome and the shop will stay open during this party. See you there perhaps?
