Words from a Glass Bubble

About two weeks ago, Vanessa Gebbie (Bex and Nic's aunt - Alex's sister-in-law), officially launched a book of short stories called Words from a Glass Bubble. The event was held at the beautiful Foundling Museum near Russell Square in London.

We were invited to attend, though Cora was also commissioned to act as the official event photographer. It was a really great opportunity to broaden her experience in a more formal setting and the evening as a whole went down really well from all perspectives.

There were over 100 people in attendance throughout the evening, the books sold at a good rate, Vanessa's reading went down a treat and Cora took some fabulous photos. It was all a bit tricky with limited space, green walls and golden chandeliers which cast a bit of a yellow light, but Cora soldiered through it very well.

Most of all, Vanessa had a fabulous book launch and a great celebration of a wonderful accomplishment we were proud to be part of. Congratulations Vanessa!

Check out Vanessa's blog here for pictures Cora took of the evening. This is Vanessa's blog solely dedicated to this book, but she also has a really interesting blog on more general things in the writing world - see link on the right.

Her book, published by Salt Publishing, can now be ordered on amazon.com by clicking here or on amazon.co.uk by clicking here
