Simon Varwell’s Up The Creek Without A Mullet was released on Monday 1st February with a very succesful launch at the Bishop’s Palace, Eden Court Theatre. We thank everyone who came to enjoy Simon’s lively and very funny reading and are happy to say that by today, Friday 5th, almost a third of available stock has left the warehouse. This looks like it is going to be a very successful book and promises well for Simon’s future career. That is no surprise to us at Sandstone Towers, of course. There was also some very fine coverage in the Daily Record and Inverness Courier

This week’s Inverness Courier has also given some appreciative coverage to Sandstone Press which you can view here http://bit.ly/cyqctN

Very significantly, as you can read in the Courier, our next book will be Love, Revenge & Buttered Scones by Bobbie Darbyshire, to be launched at Clapham Library on the 20th February. LR&BS (as we affectionately call it) is a hilarious comedy with an imaginary Reading Group based at Inverness Library close to its heart. It will sit very comfortably on your shelves beside Whisky Galore, Monarch Of The Glen and, in a warm, oblique kind of way, The Kerracher Man. We just know you are going to love it.

Please visit http://www.simonvarwell.co.uk to check up on Simon’s many coming appearances, Inverness’s Literary Salon is next on the list, Aberdeen, Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow will follow. London is in preparation. John Allen will be dropping into both Blackwell’s and Waterstone’s in Edinburgh on Tuesday 9th to sign their stocks of Cairngorm John, and Stuart Campbell will be doing a full reading from RLS In Love at Blackwell’s Edinburgh on Valentine’s Day.

Now please take time to roam http://www.sandstonepress.com pausing, please, at the Blogspot and especially, at this time, reading what Chris McIvor has to say about the earthquake tragedy and its aftermath in Haiti. Chris will be blogging on the subject again soon.
