I’m not entirely comfortable with shameless self-promotion. At the same time, I’m aware of the need to make sure I (well, Waterstone’s, Amazon etc.) sell as many copies as possible of PRINCIPLES OF ANGELS (I cringed slightly as I wrote that – even the standard convention of capitalising book titles seems rather vulgar to me).

Photos from the signing

M the Uber-Geek has put up a selection of photos he took at last Saturday’s signing here. Amazingly I only look like my mother in about half of them. As well as the usual selection of ‘woman signs book’ shots, there’s plenty of shots of the other attendees.
Interview

I’ve done a short interview for Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review, which you should be able to access from here. There’s also a review of ‘Principles of Angels’ up on his site.
Thank-you!

Thanks to everyone who came to the signing yesterday – and apologies if I didn’t get a chance to talk to you. The day reminded me of my wedding: an amazing, unforgettable occasion at which I was almost too busy to have fun. And my house is now full of flowers.
Book signing this Saturday
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 26 June 2008 0
Just a quick reminder that I’ll be signing copies of PRINCIPLES OF ANGELS this Saturday at the ‘Little Green Dragon’ bookshop in Alton, Hampshire aka www.altonbooks.co.uk. The event runs between 1pm and 2pm, but I should be hanging around in the marvellous ‘Bottega dei Sapori’ deli/cafe just down the road before and afterwards (assume there […]
Delivered!

Last night I finished the final tweaks on CONSORTS OF HEAVEN, which is the next book in the ‘Hidden Empire’ series, though not exactly a sequel to PRINCIPLES OF ANGELS. My agent will be submitting it to my publisher today at which point it enters the arcane and iterative process of editing and proofing ready […]
Happy Book Birthday to me!
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 19 June 2008 0
Fellow Gollancz author Suzanne MacLeod came up with the term ‘book birthday’ to describe the day you have your novel published. It’s one of the few life-changing events that Clintons don’t have a card for (yet). Anyway, from today I will be unable to walk past a bookshop without popping in to check if they […]
Lancaster book event
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 12 June 2008 0
As well as the book signing in Alton on the 28th of this month (see below), I’m be signing copies of PRINCIPLES OF ANGELS at Waterstones in Lancaster (the King Street branch apparently). It’s at 2pm on Sunday the 22nd, and there’s also a Q & A session planned, which should be interesting as I’ve […]
Short Break
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 4 June 2008 0
Tomorrow I’m off for a few days holiday in the land that time forgot Isle of Wight. And I am not taking a computer. In theory I’m not doing any work at all, though in practice I’m going with one of my beta-readers for CONSORTS, so I’m taking a hardcopy of the mss in case […]
Down wid da kids, ahem
Posted by Jaine Fenn on 2 June 2008 0
Forgot to post last week. No excuse other than being busy working on CONSORTS. I’ve developed an odd attitude to writing, though I suspect it’s quite normal once you start actually getting paid for doing something you’ve previously treated as a cross between a secret love and OCD. Now I feel guilty when I’m not […]
