Celebrating Valentine’s
I LOVE Valentine’s Day. Well, there aren’t many romantic novelists who don’t. And this one’s going to be really special because I’ll be celebrating it in style with three of my author friends in two fabulous Let’s Talk About Love events. On Friday 12th at 7pm, we’ll be discussing all things romantic at Waterstone’s in Windsor and it promises to be a delicious evening with chocolate treats provided by Hotel Chocolat! Tickets are £3 but that’s redeemable against purchases on the night.
Then between 3 – 4.30pm on Saturday 20th, we’ll be talking at Castelnau Library. So if you’re an avid reader or a budding novelist or simply love an excuse to talk about gorgeous heroes, do come along and say hello. We’d love to see you!
Best wishes for a splendid day on Friday, Victoria.
Just came here from normblog (I’m among the profiles), having read your delightful piece about H E Bates’s Larkin series. What a lovely appreciation – and reminder of how those books brimmed with joy and gloriously straightforward, unashamed sensuality, all handled with generosity.
Thank you!
Off topic – I’ve arrived from the Normblog link.
A lot of H.E. Bates stuff is a lot darker than DBoM – Catherine Foster or The Little Farm, some of the wartime stuff – it’s all one thing or the other with him.
(and for a while in the early Seventies a few of my long-haired uni friends went around in striped blazers and ties, under the influence of ‘The Fabulous Mrs V’)
Hi Laban – I also really loved Triple Echo and Dulcima. No happy endings there!
The guest post on normblog was about the Larkin series, so I had the decency and generosity to comment appreciatively on that. But golly, that’s me put in my place!
