The Annual London Fan Meet November 14th 2024 at the 5th View Bar, Waterstones Piccadilly!
The annual November London fan meet is on again!
​
This free event for readers will take place on Thursday, November 14th, between twelve and two, at the usual venue: The 5th View Bar, Waterstones, Piccadilly, London W1J 9HA. There will be goodie bags for everyone and one free tea, coffee or soft drink - if you want champagne cocktails, you're on your own.
​​
​I won't be able to bring any books to this event, so bring your own if you would like them signed, or take some of the signed peel and stick bookplates that will be out on the table, along with other goodies. I can see even less than last time so though I can sign copies of books, any dedications will have to be written by a volunteer! (And you will have to tell me who you are, too...)
(The venue is wheelchair accessible, but I’d advise contacting them directly to check specifics, either Waterstones themselves or the 5th View Bar).
If you arrive alone and don't know anyone, do ask for Mary, Norma or Juliet - my author friends Norma Curtis, Mary de Laszlo/Minna Howard or Juliet Greenwood, aka the Goodie Bag Fairies. But it is a lovely, friendly event and everyone has a love of reading in common.
​​​
As usual, after a few minutes I'll go and sit at one end of the room with the 2 Minute Chair next to me, so anyone who wants to can come and chat, have a photo, have a book signed or just say hello.
​
I hope to see you there!
