I should like to use today’s post to express my gratitude to the members of my audience at yesterday’s ‘An Evening With Christina James’ at Waterstones Gower Street. They proved to be attentive, responsive and interactive, as well as very friendly; I was delighted that the occasion developed into a conversation (always much more natural and comfortable) which drew upon the combined personal experiences and expertise of some extremely knowledgeable people.
It was very kind of you all to take the trouble to come to listen to a couple of readings from In the Family and Almost Love and to my personal perspective on approaches to getting published. You are old friends and new and I am privileged as an author to count you as such.
May I also give my warm thanks to Sam and the Gower Street Waterstones for hosting this event!
I’m able to confirm the date of publication of Almost Love as June 15th 2013.
Christina James, crime novelist 
It sounds like it was a fabulous evening. I’d love to live closer to London and then I would have joined you too. Congrats on the publication date.
Thanks, Rosalind. You would have been a very welcome friend indeed. 🙂
So glad it was such a success – engaging and engaged, author and audience! 😊
Thanks, Charlotte! Very kind of you to say so! 🙂
It was lovely meeting you – for real, and learning more about your writing. Looking forward to reading In The Family.
And you too, of course! I hope you enjoy it! 😉
I too would have loved to have been there. It looks as if everyone was totally enthralled by your readings, Christina. Carol, you will enjoy In The Family, I’m sure. It’s really unputdownable!
I can safely assure you, Val, that I was truly amongst friends! That made it a lot easier for me! I do hope that Carol enjoys it!
