It's happening! I have a launch event for my debut fantasy novel! July 7th, 7pm, Waterstones Sauchiehall Street (Glasgow). Please do join if you can, and any shares are much appreciated! Tickets can be booked here: www.waterstones.com/events/an-ev...

An event poster that reads: WATERSTONES EVENTS, author talk @ Waterstones Sauchiehall Street. Chiara Bullen, Tuesday 7th July at 7pm. There is a picture of the book cover for The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance. It is black with the title in the middle. Above it there is a green mountain, below it is a white building. The borders consist of dragons, daggers, ivy plants, goblets and books. The tagline reads: behind every hero, there's a historian. There is an author picture to the right of this. A woman (me) with brown curly hair and a black dress looks off moodily to the right.
