On the 25th of July I shall be seeking to flog as many copies of Broken Homes as is humanly possible. To this end the 25th will mark the start of a three day jamboree of concentrated self promotion.
Thursday the 25th
- in Nostalgia as we kick off the 25th of July at Covent Garden Waterstones where the whole Rivers of London thing started off. For it was at this very location that I, a humble bookherd, was given the sacred task of writing a novel.

Join us for a lunchtime signing of Ben Aaronovitch’s magnificent new novel, the latest from the series featuring DC Peter Grant, and his brilliant policing team, who are keeping London safe from the supernatural. Indulge in cake and prosecco, and there will be copies of an exciting limited edition of Broken Homes, which includes a short story set in the Covent Garden branch of Waterstones. Further details: 020 7836 6757
- in the radiant glory that is Kobna Holdbrook-Smith who will be reading extracts (with all the correct accents). Then we shall asking each other probing questions such as... so how much did you enjoy reading my book out loud? Fortunately members of the public will be allowed slightly more interesting questions.

days like this I really wish I lived in London
And I will be seeing you at Waterstones Piccadilly
it is strange, this saturday (19th) i was in a bookstore in the hague, netherlands and the hardback version was in there on the shelve
amazon has the same version plus kindle for the 25th
audible though no sign of the audioversion
Err, I've ordered Broken Homes for my Kobo e-reader. Don't suppose you'll be able to sign that :-(
And I will be seeing you at Waterstones Covent Garden. Book already purchased, cake has been promised.
I may not be able to make these locations, so how would you prefer I buy the book?
Google Books (how I found you originally and how I purchased the first three)
Amazon Kindle or paperback
Or hardcover from Waterstones?
Or an independent in Wandsworth or Stratford?
Hmm. Having now seen my post come up, I would like it known I had forgotten that I had a Google Blog account and that the username of that blog was "The Author". No intention to be funny or to decieve intended!
Oh dear, I'm usually happy at home but today I wish I lived in London. Hope all your events are great successes!
wish i was there congrats!!!
i had to cheat a bit to get a audioversion but he all is fair in love war and good books right?
now, i would say have a great evening and well start writing part 5 tomorrow.
