I had the pleasure of doing a double book launch with the talented Philippa Dowding on Tuesday November 3, 2026. Philippa launched her new historical novel THE WAR LANTERN and I launched ABOUT A HOME CHILD.
Both titles are published by Cormorant/DCB Young Readers.
Thank you to one and all who attended and/or sent good wishes.
