Gliterary Lunch in Glasgow was a roaring success...

What a brilliant day with the Gliterary Lunch ladies in Glasgow, not only was the event fabulous, well-organised and very glam but we cackled together on trains all the way to North Berwick, like long lost friends. Thank you ladies!! I feel I have wonderful new friends/sisters in Scotland now and will have to write another book double quick just to get invited to another lunch...

So excited about my upcoming Scottish 'tour'!

Scottish tour: Glasgow's Gliterary Lunch 24 Nov, and Edinburgh's Word Power Books on 25 Nov.
