Sydney Bookshop Tour

|
I got to sleep in a little on Thursday morning, then spent some time gazing at the view. Which mean I managed to catch a fairly rare occurrence: the opening of the Pyrmont Bridge.

It was opened to allow the floating stage at the left of this photo to pass through. Not long after I walked across the bridge (closed again) to get a bite to eat, do a bit of shopping and visit the Orbit office. 

Then Amy, the Syndey accounts manager, and I headed off for an afternoon of bookshop visits. First stop was Infinitas Books in Paramatta:

Then on to Dymocks Penrith, and the lovely Lizzie:

And a well attended signing at Gaslight Books, where I had some great conversations with fans, thanks to Mark:

And finally we popped into Kinokuniya where Helene helped me sign a nice big pile of books.

So there are now signed copies in all these shops for Sydneysiders who might fancy one. 

Sydney!

On Wednesday I flew to Syndey, where Nicola met me at the airport. I'd told her on Monday that I've aways wanted to be greeted on arrival at an airport by someone holding up a sign with my name on it, and she obliged.

Yes, I have humble ambitions. But I do seem to be on a roll: first I get to sign a boob then my wish to be met by someone holding a sign is fulfilled! What next?

Sydney was as beautiful as ever. This was my view from the hotel:

After I'd had two naps, nipped out for a bit of shopping and glammed up, Nicola picked me up and we headed for Pendolino restaurant for an even more delicious dinner. (The warm hazelnut chocolate pudding is to die for, btw.)

This time I was in the company of Nicola the Super Publicist, Hannah from Borders, Amy from Orbit, Mark from Galaxy Bookshop and Bernadette from Orbit. I was very, very tired that night, but forgot how tired I was once I got chatting to these interesting, enthusiastic people. A very enjoyable night.
