VISITING WATERSTONES - MY FAVOURITE BOOKSTORE

 



It's always a pleasure to visit Waterstones Book Shop in Brentwood High Street, especially at Christmas time.  A gale may have been blowing last Saturday evening, but all was warm and happy with Manager Ross and his staff for a great book signing - Ross's mince pies were good, too!

Two other writers were in store to meet and greet readers and it was a great pleasure to meet Ian Brown whose beautifully illustrated books about Albert (the tortoise) made a splash of colour.  Barnaby Walter, a brilliant young novelist was also of huge interest introducing his new book and both authors, hopefully, will come to Brentwood Writers' Circle next year to talk about their individual successful writing lives.
