Spark Book Launch

After years of lockdowns and my general aversion to making a fuss, it transpires I haven’t had a book launch celebration since 2017 and Beetle Queen. So last week, I celebrated the launch of Spark, the second book in The Twitchers series and also belatedly celebrated Twitch - which came out in lockdown times.

It was so wonderful to see so many old and new friends and thank all the people at Walker who have championed my birdwatchers and helped create this book with me. I also got to wear my pink suit, which made me extraordinarily happy!

Here is a small gallery of pics from the joyous occasion, which took place in the magnificent Waterstones in Gower Street.

The Twitchers series will be a four part seasonal quartet

It is with great pleasure that I can announce that The Twitchers will be a four book series. Look out for the next adventure for our intrepid birdwatchers in spring of 2023.
