All I can say is WOW! I was awed and humbled by the friends, acquaintances and strangers who came to the the Dubai launch of the Cornish House at Kinokuniya in the Dubai Mall. The Cornish Cream tea was a huge success and dear friends brought the flag of St Piran which saved the evening....
After the early prep work in which I was ably aided by DH, Bee and the wonderful Matt Cowdrey of Hachette...
It was time to take off the apron and face the crowd...and unlike most Dubai events- people came early which was wonderful as we had a chance to chat and nibble...

| I look like I'm giving a stern lecture! |

| A now for the reading.... |
What was great was there was a lovely chance to mix and mingle before hand. and afterwards. Very unlike me to not be able to find the words to describe the evening but I can't -from the moment I walked into Kinokuniya's and saw my books on display front of house to all the wonderful people who came to wish me well and who bought soooo many books...in fact more books than people who attended!
What am amazing start in an amazing place...
If I can work the technicalities I may have video footage later!
Before I sign off to catch this flight I need to say there have been some fabulous things said about
The Cornish House on
Novelicious here and I've been put as a top summer by
Isabel Costello on her On The Sofa blog

Mega congratulations on the launch of The Cornish House, Liz!
What a fabulous day the Dubai launch sounds. What a shame I'm going to miss the London launch - I'm sure that that will be great fun, too.
