Intervention Book Launch

 

Two days to go before the launch of my new book Intervention. There’s no big party as there used to be with book launches but that’s the way the publishing market is at this time. Thursday 11^th October seems a strange date to launch a book but I guess it’s because the Frankfurt book fair is held this week.

 

The mysteries of book publishing are far more impenetrable to me than anything to do with Earth’s Moon, or the possibility of our future selves travelling to the past – which are both child’s play by comparison.

 

No matter how many books a writer publishes, and I am approaching 20 now, it’s always a nervous time and is something akin to expecting a child. You never know how it’s going to be received, or even if it will be received at all. Despite the fact that everyone says ‘I don’t care what my child turns out to be as long as it’s healthy’, everyone secretly wants a good looking genius, and it’s the same with a new book.

 

And just the same a child arriving, there’s absolutely nothing an author can do once the book has entered the birth canal of arriving in the shops and on Amazon.

 

As a rule launch days come and go without me giving them a great deal of thought but this book is quite different. Intervention is a virtual crusade to me. I believe absolutely in it and although I recognise that I am only a small link in a very long chain, I want to make sure that my link is just as strong and shiny as all the rest.

 

Ah well. Time will tell.
