The book signing event in Poole Waterstones was great fun and we were very busy, both with existing readers coming in to buy books and new Stonewylde readers too. Dee the manager, whom I'd met at the Poole Literary Festival a couple of years ago, looked after us very well and has promised to read Magus of Stonewylde herself. Poole was a-buzz with shoppers and we hope to return here next spring. The beautiful lady in the photo came in specially to buy Shaman of Stonewylde as a Christmas present for her father, who's apparently a big fan of the series.

I had a good third visit to the Waterstones branch in Camberley, Surrey, thanks to Helen inviting me back. She and the staff had created a beautiful Stonewylde display, and it was good to engage with many new readers. I hope that all the copies of Magus that were bought for Yule presents will be enjoyed - with the recipients rushing back to buy Moondance as soon as the shops are open again! I had a long chat with Helen about the series, for she is an avid fan herself and had lots of questions to ask me about the final book. Thanks to Helen, Cath and the other staff for looking after me again.
