So far I have 25 customer reviews on Amazon. Can you help me make it 30? All you have to do is search Stranger In My Heart by Mary Monro and then scroll down to the button marked ‘write a customer review’. You don’t need to have bought the book from Amazon, but you must have spent £40 with them in the last year.

The launch party pictures appeared in issue 372 of Bath Life which you can find online here on page 14. It has proved very difficult to find a print copy and in the end Mr Mayor kindly provided me with one!

There was an article about the book and my travels to China in Odynovo Tours’ latest newsletter. My dear friend Col Martin Lilley has written a brilliant review of my book for The Gunner magazine, which will reach the veterans of the Royal Artillery.

I am preparing some talks about the book for the autumn. I will be speaking at the University of Bath on 23 October, auditioning as a speaker for the WI on 22 November and speaking at the Shrewsbury Lit Fest on Saturday 24th November at 1pm. Please do come along!
