The Japan Lights Book Tour (UK)
So after an absence of nearly four years due to the Plague Times, and after releasing two and a half books during lockdown (Life is Elsewhere/Burn your Flags, Envy the Seasons, and In the Shadow of Piper Alpha), I finally made it back to Scotland to launch a book in person. I won’t bore you with a detailed walk through of the trip. Instead, here is a short photo diary. Thanks to everyone who came along to the events, and who bought the book. It was a big success and I’m really looking forward to my upcoming events in Japan (Nagoya, Sept 17; Yokohama, Oct 22). See some of you there!
