I'm just working on my first book proposal, and it's such a lovely time to be vicariously following your tour, reading and fantasising about the other end of the journey - as intimidating as all that promo stuff sounds to a little introvert!

I am currently working with Whitefox in London on my book and want to thank you for your recommendation. Their team is lovely.

Currently spending the weekend reading ‘A Table for One’ with the river rolling by.

In New York my favorite boutique hotel is ‘ The Library Hotel’ just a block from the NY Library. It is delightful.

Title: The Story Behind the Painting. Memoir.

I’ve been a visual artist, art teacher and writer for the past 35 years.

The book has 10 paintings from those years with a story that connects to each painting.

Stories include divorce, adventures in S. France, family suicde, cancer and finding love late in life.

Thank you for asking.

Warmly,

Mary

Hurray! I hope so! Altho I think Lucy said it clashes with the "guadalupe nettel" event!

Oh dear, yes, I appear to have been very confused about our plans for the evening. My fault completely, but in all fairness who can keep up with her? She did say maybe we’ll see you after?

I'm planning to read table for one on my summer vacation. Feels like the right time to do it. Now, I need to pick the location. Enjoy your rest x

These book tour diary entries have been such a joy to read Emma. I'm still feeling the energy from the book dinner and met some lovely women that night, so thank you again for bringing us together. I've since re-read Table For One and fell in love with the characters all over again...I think we all want to be Aunt Carla when we 'grow up' don't we? I don't read as much fiction as I used to but this is a comfort book and one I'll treasure for sure. Congratulations and thanks for keeping going to gift us this wonderful story. Enjoy your post book tour table for one ❤️
