THE SCOOP VIRTUAL ONLINE ‘Social Distancing’ LAUNCH PARTY!
7:30 PM
On all good social media platforms…
Cat Walker’s debut novel, The Scoop, will be launched on March 26th 2020. Join in this ride of a lifetime, described as the lesbian Bridget Jones meets Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Called “a wonderful tale of journeys, both geographical and emotional, that will keep you entertained at every turn” by local comedy genius Zoe Lyons.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak and social distancing measures put in place in the UK we have regrettably taken the decision to postpone the physical launch party planned for The Scoop.
Instead we will be gathering virtually on social media to celebrate Cat’s hard-won achievement in finally getting her debut novel, The Scoop, published.
So pop your champagne corks, open that bag of peanuts you were saving for when your aunt came round, and please join us at 7.30 on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for:
