Fireblood Launch in Bath

It was a very wet and windy evening as I set off for Waterstones in Bath to celebrate the launch event for ‘Fireblood’, a fantastic new story by Sam Stewart. The warmth of welcome more than made up for the awful weather and soon a large crowd had gathered, all keen to hear from Sam and find out more about her book!

Penny and Karen from Firefly Press made sure the evening flowed smoothly and their enthusiasm for, and belief in, ‘Fireblood’ was infectious. Firefly was founded in 2013 (how can it have been that long?!) and have gone from strength to strength, winning award after award, and publishing a wonderful catalogue of books- such as ‘Fireblood’. Once Penny had made her introduction, Sam and Karen settled down for a brief chat about the book with before Sam gave a reading. And what a reading!

There’s something very special about hearing an author read their own work and Sam is one of those who performs as much as reads, keeping the audience hanging on her every word! No wonder there was such a long signing queue!

‘Fireblood’ is a great read- my review will follow soon- and it was a lovely event with a very warm, friendly, book-ish crowd. Many thanks to Sam and the Firefly Press team for inviting me!
