I had the opportunity to meet Lauren Smith (pictured here) who is my marketing contact at Born Free and who has been wonderful in providing all the information about the featured animals for the book and checking out all the organisations we have contacted. We discussed various things including that the book will be on their website and we hope to have a feature about the book in their newsletter that has a huge distribution.

And me, Debz next to the wonderful Virginia McKenna (I'm looking fat as usual and with red wine in my hand! I hate pictures of me!)
Looks like you had a great time! Your picture looks fine, you take after me with the red wine! Virginia McKenna looks so elegant always doesn't she? Hope we get to chat to her at Hay.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes we can both toast the book with red wines at Hay. Yes she does look so elegant- she is 80 next year! And I am planning a get together before the launch so you will get the chance to meet her first!
