New Bradley Baker titles rolling off the press next week

Just heard from my publisher today... both Bradley Baker titles will be rolling off the press next Tuesday.... with time to spare before the release date for both books 10th September.

 


Great news, as this will mean that we have achieved the deadline with another precious week to spare for more promotional marketing before the "Discover The New Boy Hero" Waterstones UK Book Signing Tour, which starts in Bath on Saturday 17th September during the Annual Kids Books Festival.

Great news... James at Waterstones in Plymouth Drake Circus shopping mall contacted me today to agree a date for a signing event during the UK Tour.


Saturday 19th November is now secured and brings the total number of events during the tour to14... really looking forward to going back to Plymouth... held a superb event there last year when we launched the Bradley Baker adventure series.

More tour updates to follow :)

Waterstones Book Signing Tour dates fast approaching

The first book signing event is on Saturday 17th September in the beautiful city of Bath. I'm so looking forward to working with John Lloyd and the team of children's booksellers at Waterstones.




Time is passing by so quickly and there is still so much to do. My publisher and literary agent has been brilliant with the majority of the promotional merchandise now supplied to support the events. We have mugs, badges, maps, t-shirts, bookmarks and even "gemstones"... yep sparkling gems in gift boxes to give away as prizes.

I particularly love the blue sapphire from the "Amulet of Silvermoor" and a red ruby from the "Curse of Pathylon"... these will be given away as part of a Bradley Baker goody-bag to the in-store competition winners at each event on the tour.
