Was great as you say, Dee, to meet other like-minded people and talk about writing and stuff. Look forward to the next meet-up!!Ciarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662254771214084977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642795057392908919.post-91813438151575903572010-02-18T17:19:05.371+00:002010-02-18T17:19:05.371+00:00I forgot to bring my MNW books, too!

My only regret was having to walk past so many bookshops on my way to Brown's and not have time to buy any books, and that I didn't think about bringing the MNW titles I own to get them signed. For those of you who weren't able to join us, you missed a treat, and the steak pie and sticky toffee pudding weren't bad either.Deborah Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594174632573628818noreply@blogger.com
