I went into my local branches of Waterstones today and guess what – my poetry collection, Petrolhead is stocked on their shelves between Homer and Ted Hughes which is a pretty good place to be. Petrolhead came out last month but hasn’t been officially launched as yet as I was hoping to get the collection into Waterstones prior to launching. Now that’s happened I can go live as it were – and Petrolhead will be officially launched as part of Droitwich Spa’s Arts 4 All event at the Norbury Theatre Droitwich on Saturday 6th March 12-4 though my reading time is to be confirmed. The event details are here: http://droitwichspa.com/arts4all.htm And there’s another poet reading too, Sarah James who’s also a local author and is due to have her first collection In To The Yell published later in year is also reading and exhibiting. The more poetry the better.
Of course when I was in Waterstones I couldn’t help but buy some books so all I need now is the time to read them.
