Last night I had a wonderful dinner at the Boathouse restaurant with booksellers, an editor and reviewer, and some of the Orbit team.
It was so much fun and the only disappointment was that the night flew by so quickly I didn't get to talk to everyone for as long as I'd like to have. Suddenly we were past the dessert and hot drinks and it was much later than I'd realised. We said our goodbyes, then I remembered I'd forgotten to take a photo. Linda rushed off and waylaid people in their cars, and we all gathered in front of the restaurant for a photo - all but Colin Steele from the Canberra Times who'd managed to slip away.
Thank you to Gia from the Canberra Times, Linda from Orbit, Alison from Dymocks Canberra, Matt from Orbit, Fiona and Erin from Dymocks Tuggeranong, Nicola the Super Publicist, Andrew from Dymocks Belconnen, Renee from Dymocks tuggeranong, Gayle from Gaslight Books and (absent from photo) Colin from the Canberra Times. Looking forward to seeing many of you today, for bookshop visits and the Gaslight signing tonight.
