Robin Pilcher

A DOUBLE WHAMMY!

April 12th, 2010

In those timeless words of Hannibal Smith from the ‘A-Team’ (okay, maybe that’s overgilding the lily a bit), “I love it when a plan comes together.”

Not that it came together quite on purpose, but it does seem that the ‘official UK book launch’ of A MATTER OF TRUST in Waterstone’s Dundee next Monday night is going to coincide with the on-lining of the new Shortbread site.

It’s been a funny one, really, both the book and the site being held up; the former for publishing slot reasons, the latter because it turned out much more complicated that we had first envisaged.

I do know, however, that the Shortbread site is going to be phenomenally successful, thanks to the veritable hard graft of Gary Duncan, who has put the whole thing together. I just hope the book has the same promise!

If you just happen to be around Waterstone’s, 35 Commercial Street, Dundee between 6.30pm and 8.30pm on Monday, 19th April, do drop in. It would be good to see you.

“Robin Pilcher is popular novelist Rosamunde Pilcher’s oldest son, and living proof that talent does run in families…..with his Scottish sensibility and captivating wordplay, Pilcher is able to craft a fine and fulfilling novel.” (Booklist)

“If An Ocean Apart is any indication of Robin Pilcher’s works, then it is only a matter of time before the author becomes as well-known as his mother.” (Amazon.co.uk.)

“My family was brought up with the feelgood factor, so that’s what I write about. Real people and believable situations. My characters may be criticized by some as being stereotypical, but quite honestly, I take that as a compliment. One can associate with them.” (Robin Pilcher)
