Letters From My Mill

The sequel to the preceding post about Rachel Sarai's Vineyard now follows.
My first reaction to the book's withdrawal was shock and consternation as I was committed to the forthcoming promotion event and Mrs Rey now forbade me to promote her book there. Things were rather too advanced to cancel the event as I had also arranged to attend a book fair at Ceridwen the following day.
Fortunately over recent years I had been working on a translation of Alphonse Daudet's Lettres de Mon Moulin, the story of his relocation from Paris to an old mill in Provence in the 19th century and a whole series of stories of local Provencal colour. This was finished and proof read and I had been formatting it under the kind tutelage of another friend. WE's reached the stage of the book block being ready but the cover an image in my head. I hurriedly painted a picture for it and started trying to master photoshop but time was running out so my friend offered to format the cover and yesterday I actually submitted an order and will hopefully soon have copies for sale.


The launch will be at Ceridwen Centre in Carmarthenshire at 7pm on March 12th. Entry is free and all are welcome, There will be food and drink and an open mic session on a French / travel theme. Here is a link to my website for details [the details in events on Ceridwen's site still mention Rachel Sarai's Vineyard but that will shortly be fixed.
