MOUSE OF COMMONS. MOUSE OF LORDS.

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOK LAUNCHES OF 2008

Well! It happened - on the 5th and 6th September 2008, I finally had the launch parties at the Fitzroy Tavern, London for my most recent 3 poetry books: the new collection - SHY YETI'S INCREDIBLE PIE-CRUST COLLECTION, WOOED AWAKENINGS and WOOED-ER AWAKENINGS as well as, most importantly for this site - the two new Mouse books: GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS THROWS IT ALL AWAY and THE FURTHER SQUEAKS OF GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS.

Thanks to everyone who came along and all those who sent messages of apology for not being able to make it. Thanks also to all of you who bought copies of the books and the cool comments I've had back from you already about the ones you bought.

The next book launch will be to celebrate the launch of GOSSIP FROM THE CHEESE COUNTER and also to belatedly go for drinks for my birthday. At the moment I'm setting it for around 14th/15th November - more details when I have them. :)

The photos relating to the new poetry collections can be found on www.thedaffypoet.blogspot.com

Further photos can be found on my Facebook Fan Page at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=69018&l =0d6d3&id=650936342

On the friday we moved on to the Vauxhall Tavern - so the photos are taken in both venues. Enjoy them and thanks again to everyone for coming along. :)
