Only 77 days until the publication of If I Never and I am, naturally, starting to get rather excited. Pre-orders seem to be going fairly well, the final edits should hopefully be complete this week and (fingers crossed) I should have some cover art to show you within the next week or two.
I’m also starting to plan the launch — or one aspect of it, at least, since my publisher may have something additional in mind.
Given the number of friends I have online, some situated as far afield as Australia, others quite literally just down the road, it occurred to me that it would be a shame not to include them — to include you — in “the big event”. I’m therefore planning, if I get enough interest, an Internet launch. The event will largely be held on Twitter but will inevitably spill over on to Facebook and, hopefully, my website. The launch date will be 29th of August and all will be welcome… especially if you have/are planning on buying the book 🙂 As far as I know, it will be the first Twitter book launch — so it will be quite a historic event, for me, if no one else!
If you are interested in attending/will be attending, RSVP here so I can easily judge how much interest there is. If you have any additional ideas that might make it go with even more of a swing, please shout up.
depending on the time I’d be interested in attending : )
I’m probably going to have it running most of the day, to allow for different time zones… I suspect it’s going to be a rather long day for me, but, hopefully, great fun!
awesome sounds grand, looking forward to it
Sounds really exciting – I’ll be watching the event with interest to be sure. Congratulations and good luck with the launch – will be thinking good thoughts for you throughout.
Thanks, Cassandra — don’t forget to say hi and join in with the fun.
Oh no! Away that w/end – celebrating Ma-in-law’s 80th birthday on North Norfolk coast. It’s actually 16th Sept, but the long w/end is better for everyone, as some coming a distance – two from S Africa. Don’t have a laptop and OH would not let me borrow his for something so trivial as Twitter! However, I will be with you in spirit – in both senses of the word! Enjoy every minute of your success! xxx
That’s a shame!… Don’t you have a mobile phone with Internet access? Not to worry, I’m sure you’ll be there in spirit — and, you never know, it might still be going when you get back LOL xxx
No, I don’t have a phone with Internet access! I’ve not long had one with a coloured screen! It doesn’t take pics (I have a camera for that!) play music, wash up or make the tea either. It’s a phone and I use it mostly for text messages, plus the occasional call. Nick and the boys all have flash phones/blackberries/i-thingies etc that perform all manner of wondrous deeds – I don’t see the point.

The point, my dear, is that you can attend spiffing book launches whilst fulfilling your familial obligations 😉 xxx
I will concede that miniscule point! x
I shall definitely tune in. Good luck to you. Exciting
Thanks, Ali. Look forward to seeing you there 🙂
Hopefully, I’ll be there. How can I miss it?
Just don’t nod off and all will be well 😉

Would love to attend – I adore attending historic moments!!
I’m thinking of getting someone to make a commemorative plaque… or is that overdoing it a little? 😉
I’ll be there!
Great! 😀 Remember to bring a bottle — and a book-buying friend! 😉
I am RSVPing
Thanks for letting me know, Kathleen! Look forward to seeing you there.
I will try and be there, sounds exciting
Great! There’ll probably be something going on most of the day so will be difficult to miss LOL
Hi Gary! I have absolutely no intention of missing the event of the century! Count me in! Have you got the means to do one of those “audioboo” things? You could address all you adoring fans if you have.
No, that isn’t actually available for my make of phone, yet… not sure if it’s my kind of thing, anyway, but… we’ll see 😉
Ah! The Man of Mystery – seldom heard and never seen! 😉
That could work. Might even start a few rumours about myself. Author as cipher? 😀
I’ll just need a reminder cuz I’m forgetful. 😀
Oh, don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of reminders 😉 By 29th August you’ll be sick of me 😀
Count me in for definite!
Count yourself counted in, Sharon. xx
