Spring Blogger Evening 2019 - Simon and Schuster

Last week I had the pleasure of going to the Spring Blogger Evening 2019 at Simon and Schuster. Books and the City.

I have been up to Simon and Schuster a few times and every time I am blown away with how amazing everyone is. So lovely and they welcome you with open arms. I cannot fault their hospitality, you will never meet a better bunch of people.

This year was the 2nd one that I have been to and after last year I knew it was going to be good, at first I didn't think I would be able to attend, however circumstances change.

Not even laryngitis was going to stop me going to this event, and I am SO glad it didn't. The author line up was amazing, below are the amazing authors who were there and the links to pre order their new books (I have chosen Amazon, however please do not take offence and purchase whereever you like!)

Not to mentioned the lovely - who weren't on the invite and left us all guessing:

  • Juliet Ashton - Coming December 2019!!!
 The event started how all good things start, drinks and food. SJ and her team always put on a good spread and a good natter - In my case this was with Louise Candlish and Juliet Ashton. What lovely ladies, I know at the last event I didn't get change to speak to them much but so glad I got time here. 


When the authors sat down to do their readings, I couldn't have been more excited to hear what they all have come up with now. The first 5 authors are ones that I have read a lot and they have left a lasting impression on me. What better way to spend an evening than to have them read to you from their new book. The other authors were a bonus, of course they all have something new coming out soon so was great to have a chance to have a chat to them about their new books.

I could not be anymore in awe of what these wonderful authors do, as well as all the S&S team. I cannot wait for many more to come. Every time I go I get to speak to some of my favourite authors who are so down to earth it is like having a natter with your best friend.

Thank you for a wonderful evening and letting me meet some amazing bloggers and fantastic authors!

As he twisted harder, I turned my body in the direction of his grip to try and relieve the pain. His other hand appeared from behind him and the heel of his palm hit the side of my head. As it made contact with my ear, a siren rang in my brain, blocking all other sound. I kicked out, my foot slamming into his shins. His forward momentum increased as he was caught off balance, and his upper body folded. His shoulder glanced off the picture frame on the wall and it fell to the floor with a clatter. The rebound flung him away from me. As he let go of my arm, we fell apart like a tree struck down the middle by lightning. I staggered backwards, calves ramming against the coffee table, pushing it towards the sofa. Terror now ruling my fear, I grabbed the ceramic vase toppling from the table. I swung it ineffectually at his head. I was briefly su
