Books sell out at Plymouth signing event

All event stock copies of Book One - Bradley Baker and the Curse of Pathylon sold out during the 11th leg of the Waterstone's tour on Saturday. And with only 16 copies of book two left at the end of the event, James Yates... the Plymouth Drake Circus Waterstone's event co-ordinator said that the day had proved a great success. I have to say that the professional set up of the signing table and the in-store marketing was brilliant and I can now sleep easy at night knowing that I have presented in front of an official Waterstone's back drop, which stood proudly between the Bradley Baker tour banners.

Here are just a few pictures from the event...

Next stop Bristol Galleries... for the 12th and penultimate event of the 2011 Waterstone's tour.

NEW Waterstone's Book Signing Tour dates to be announced this week..

NEWSFLASH!!!

Watch this space... I will be embarking on a NEW Waterstone's Tour during February 2012. Nine back-to-back events are planned so far and will take place during the half term school holidays at a selection of Waterstone's stores in Yorkhire and Lincolnshire. Confirmation of the store venues and dates to be announced later this week!

Tenth Leg of 2011 Waterstone's Tour a great success

I have to say as each event takes place the support from all the Waterstone's booksellers just gets better and better. Gill and Tracey at Exeter High Street organised a very well promoted event today.




It could not have been more visual, with posters in both windows, an 'A' frame on the high street and a signing area to die for right in the middle of the children's section.



The event was busy throughout the day and I sold out of book one Bradley Baker and the Curse of Pathylon. The second book also did well and Bradley acquired lots of new fans in Exeter.





Next stop Plymouth Drake Circus on Saturday 19th November... Hope to see you there ;)

Book Signing Tour... What's happened so far!

The Waterstone's signing tour is causing quite a stir, as both Bradley Baker titles are flying off the shelves. So far I have visited nine stores up and down the UK; starting at Bath and Bournemouth Arcade, with Cribbs Causeway & Galleries Shopping Centre in Bristol hosting the next two events.




The wagon wheels of the tour then rolled into Taunton and then back to Bournemouth (this time the Castlepoint Mall hosted the event). Then I made headway to my boyhood county of Yorkshire to see the lovely booksellers at Sheffield Meadowhall Arcade and Huddersfield.




On Saturday, Cirencester hosted the ninth leg of the tour in the Cotswolds. Next up Exeter High Street and then onto Plymouth Drake Circus before returning to Bristol for the last two events of the tour just before Christmas.

Here are a few pics taken with the Waterstone's folk...






Look out for the next Bradley Baker store events, which are being arranged for the half term break in February 2012... more details will follow soon but rumour has it, that it will be a 9 event back-to-back signing tour of Waterstone's stores in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire!

Catch up soon

BRADLEY BAKER BOOK RELEASES DAVID LAWRENCE JONES

Car accident will slow things down

The timing could not have been worse... having been involved in a car accident some weeks ago I was hoping the pain in my neck and back would have subsided by now ready for the start of the book tour. Apparently I have whiplash and a trapped nerve between C6 and C7 discs. However... let's look on the positive side, my lovely wife has kindly offered to drive me to each event and strong prescribed pain killers will hopefully dull the discomfort. One thing is for sure a smile will be on my face and a warm welcome will be extended to everyone who attends... no matter how much pain I feel!
Best regards, David
