DARK FLIGHT BOOK LAUNCH - WATERSTONE'S EDINBURGH 26th July 2007

DARK FLIGHT was launched on publication day at Waterstone's George Street branch in Edinburgh. There was a super turn-out of family, friends, fans, and other authors. It is very difficult to select a section of a crime thriller to read, as it will usually give away something that might spoil things for the reader who will be starting from the beginning of the book. I have therefore tended to stick to reading book openings in the past, and the DARK FLIGHT launch was no exception. With Juju featuring strongly in DARK FLIGHT, I also read out (photo above) a witch doctor advertisement from my time in Nigeria, with its remedy (from pre-viagra days) for a 'tired penis'. I was accused afterwards of finding any excuse to use the p-word during a book launch, thereby carrying on a tradition that goes back to the DRIFTNET launch (think of Sean making breakfast for Rhona ...). Honestly - she was bringing it for her mum!   Lin with Suzi Doore (editor) and Bob McDevitt of Hodder > When Waterstone's closed, the party moved along George Street to The Living Room to continue the celebrations.
