4 February - Literary congratulations

To Kettners for a drink to celebrate a new author, SH of which I’ll tell you more when her book is about to hit the shops in 2008 so you can all go buy what will be the intelligent thriller of the year. Apart from anything else, though it was hotly fought over by a few publishers and benefits a top editor to see it to a final impressive draft, the title is still undecided so no point telling you about it.
There we were in Kettners (not been there since… could it be? Those 80’s again. And v. favourably impressed, the champagne bar was more than adequate, who needs private clubs as I keep saying) which was busy with a steady influx from 7 till 8 and then they all vanished. Our gathering was small but perfect, only those who cared and those who were happy for her came, which is all that matters. TBC tbc
