The Jessie Burton Interview

Started off with the usual me tarting myself up and then sending pics to my wife to make sure I don’t look like an idiot and then her pondering clues for our books for the blind book swap after…

It was brilliant to see that Dubray are now dedicating a table in their stores to the Book Club’s books of the month every month from now on. Feels weird to see them out there in the real world…

The event itself was just super – Jessie was a great interviewee with tons of stuff to say about The Miniaturist, pressure, writing process, how The Muse came together, research and where things go from here…

As for the afters they went brilliantly as usual – a feeding frenzy around the blind book swap and then the breaking up into table for chats and the lovely nibbles supplied by the ledgebags at Against The Grain.

My favourite part this time was the brilliantly creative clues some people left…

Yes, there will be another Book Club author interview and live event soon and even the one after that is in the planning!

For now, I’m doing these tonight and next week and all are welcome (must RSVP for the Liz Nugent one!)
