Nina and I were delighted to greet surprise visiting authors, Katie Fforde and her husband Des. I was hugely embarrassed that my intention to order her latest had not been followed through and we didn't have a single one of her titles in the shop. Katie's new hardback, A Perfect Proposal, is doing very well and we really will have it on our shelves in the next day or two - promise.
Des has put together a collection of seafaring stories containing pieces by Forrester, Monsarrat, Captain Marryat etc and profits will go to The Prostate Cancer Charity. If you want to know more about A Seaman's Book of Sea Stories go to http://www.accentpress.co.uk and click 'New Titles' We'll have the book in soon.
Des is an ex seaman and still looks the part.
Nice meeting you both. Perhaps we could organise a family signing with the pair of you and Jasper?
Lovely photo. :)
