| Win a whole bag of MUMNESIA goodies! |
I was a little bit naughty for this book and actually had my launch party last week at Waterstones Islington - a WHOLE WEEK early! - and had so much fun I wanted to share a sneaky peek at my party photo album, and share my five steps to a RAD launch party!
 |
| Step 1: Get party supplies together! |
 |
| Step 2, Decorate Nails! |
 |
| Step 3. Dress like it's the 80s! |
 |
| Step 4. Make sure there's LOTS of fun stuff to eat and do! |
 |
Step 5. Add lots of wonderful friends and family (the most vital ingredient) and PAR-TAY!
(L-R My mum, author Elizabeth Dale, author Sarwat Chadda,
my sister, a Pat Sharp wannabe, me and author Tamsyn Murray!) |
 |
The fab author Sarwat Chadda re-enacting the 80s
- mobile phones really were HUGE back in the day! |
 |
Rubik's Cubes are HARD!
Lovely Kathy Evans (author of More of Me)
with wonderful crimped 80s hair! |
 |
My lovely agent Jenny Savill and her daughter
performing an extract of MUMNESIA - fabulously! |
 |
And my lovely publishers Macmillan
even gave me a MUMNESIA necklace! |
 |
Everyone wrote down their fave memories of the 80s:
Roller Boots and Rara skirts, Hair Wraps, ABBA,
Reebok High-Tops, Wacaday, Adam Ant,
Crimped Hair and Shell-Suits, Mullet Hair,
Wham, Thundercats, Leg-Warmers and
Spitting Image all feautured - and my fave... |

I'm so thrilled that the fab Lilly Lazuli (centre) who illustrated
the cover could come to the party - it was the first time we'd met! |
 |
My lovely friend Kathy even took Polaroid photos!
Pics to treasure forever :) |
It was a wonderful evening that I'll never forget.
