A better click-bait title would have been ‘take me to bed with you’, but it wouldn’t be strictly true and you would be taking The Dean to bed too, which might require a stiff drink beforehand.
In any case, here is a quick video of me reading a chapter from the new PorterGirl novel, The Vanishing Lord.
I shall be at the London Book Fair this week, so online activity will be sporadic, although if you find yourself missing my little face, please feel free to keep up with me on Twitter and Facebook. Obviously this week will be a great opportunity for me to work hard in making important contacts and promoting my work. It is certainly not an excuse to go marauding around Kensington in nifty waistcoats, drinking wine and singing rude songs. No.

Wonderful! Loved getting a bedtime story right before Tink and I scuttle off to bed, but it seemed as if you were turning the pages of the book back to front. Magic? 🙂 Great jammies, btw, and it’s frigid again tonight, so I will be slipping into my own flannels as soon as I post this comment.
Have a wonderful week at the London Book Fair – and come back with lots of tales of your exploits. Looking forward to hearing everything.

I hadn’t noticed that about the pages! It was filmed quickly on my laptop which must ‘mirror’ the image, as opposed to the camera which gives a ‘real’ image. Well spotted, my dear! I hope you and Tink have a lovely sleep and I will regale you with tales of adventure and derring-do very soon!

We both slept long and hard, thanks awakening to SNOW. Crazy weather. Hope London is warm enough to get out and enjoy the city while you’re there.

One of the best things about being British is that we are used to getting out and about despite the weather, not because of it – enjoyment shall be had regardless! I do hope London is quite ready for me 😉

Hardly possible – but they will learn. Taking your Wellies?
xx, mgh
No wellies, but a sturdy pair of boots and a dashing hat will prepare me for anything!
Xx
Of course I knew the hat would be making the trip with you! No bumbershoot? xx, mgh
Oh no! I need both hands free – for wine and a cheeky cigarette 😉
Xx
Don’t like them much myself – but I usually have a folding one in my purse or tote, just in case I’m caught in a deluge. You can carry a glass of wine outside in London? Only in New Orleans here – and only in the French Quarter.

Actually, having glasses in the street is frowned upon. But I am frequently frowned upon anyway, so that won’t worry me. Now I must pack my case, put on a swish waistcoat and head for the train – further adventures to follow!
Xx
Have a great time – and try not to get arrested. xx, mgh
I will do my best (no promises 😉 )
Xx
Whatever happens, you know we want to read ALL about it! Off to bed. G’nite. Safe trip.

Is mortar boarding actually legal? And why are you reading the book backwards? I’m so confused!
Mortar boarding is practically encouraged in Old College!
Ah, yes – this was filmed with haste on my laptop, which ‘mirrors’ the image, rather than when using a camera which gives a true image. Well done to the eagle-eyed viewers who spot this! I suppose I should have bluffed that it’s a magic book or something…
I didn’t see what was wrong for a moment – just that something WAS wrong with it!
Perhaps you should take bookings for bedtime readings?
I didn’t notice it in the edit – but this was all done on the hop, what with the book and what have you. Doesn’t pay to rush these things! Hopefully most people will be blinded by the loveliness of my pyjamas and won’t notice. If anyone would like to come along to the bedtime readings, they would be very welcome! Shall I reserve you a front row seat, Mick?
Certainly. Do we get wine?
Oh absolutely. And gin.
It’s a deal.
🙂
