Book launch
October 4th, 2020
We had a book launch for A Clue for Clara two weeks ago, at the Hobart Bookshop in Salamanca Square. It was supposed to be deadly serious – well, except for the bit where Les Winspear and I were trying to explain what it was like to suddenly get a really good idea for a story.
Everything after that was meant to be sensible and dignified. But it’s hard to be dignified when a chook turns up in the middle of the speeches, making wild accusations about a stolen diary, and disrupting all the sensible stuff.
To make matters even worse, we had to break the book itself out of a giant egg.
And the chook just kept hanging round …
In the end, everyone agreed that it was the best launch ever. Huge thanks to Les Winspear and Claire Dawson for their help in planning and executing the fun.
Well done Lian, great article in The Mercury too! Looked like it was an awesome book launch, loved the photos….cracked me up!!
Thanks Colleen. And yes, the launch was hilarious!
