Throughout the Cheltenham Literary Festival, the Daffodil Restaurant, (18-20 Suffolk Place, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50 2AE) is running an ‘afternoon tea at the Daffodil’ event.

Every afternoon a writer or writers will be going in to talk, read from a current book and answer questions, all to the delicate clink of porcelain!
And guess what? I have been asked to kick off the run, on Friday October 7th!
Tea will be served between 3 and 4.00 pm. My bit (where I talk about myself, read from my e-book TORN and answer questions) will be between 4.15 and 5.00.
It would be lovely to see friends and acquaintances there but I don’t expect it. Actually, I don’t know what is more scary, the prospect of performing to a roomful of people I know or a roomful of strangers. Or, even worse, maybe – an empty room!!!!!
It’s advisable to book, apparently, so they have an idea of numbers. Personally I’m only expecting 3 old men and a dog.
Will let you know how I get on.

I found my way here from the Post-Chicklit group on Facebook and just wanted to say bravo! I'm sure your husband is correct in his assessment. :-)
Thank you Charlotte.
