November has been both a busy and exciting one for me, as my third book Mountainfell was released this month! I’m hugely grateful to everyone who made this possible, and to everyone who’s supported me, read, reviewed or bought the book, or shared it with others in libraries, bookshops, schools and more. As a thank you I still have a number of signed book plates to give away. Get in touch if you’d like me to send you one!
In other news:
Book launch
I was privileged to have a book launch at the wonderful Storysmith. After the lockdowns that surrounded Glassheart’s release it felt brilliant to come together with friends and family to celebrate. And, as someone who gets nervous giving speeches sometimes, I was pleased that I managed to not be sick. Bonus!
Blog tour
I packed the old van and went off on blog tour this month. Here’s some links to all the stops I made:
Inventing magical creatures Part One – Digging Deep on My Shelves Are Full @erinlynhamilton
Nature, red in tooth and claw on My Book Corner @MyBookCorner
Weird is Wonderful on Scope for Imagination @KateHeap1
Strange mountain encounters on Check ‘em Out Books @TJGriffiths

And a bonus Q&A on Big Bearded Bookseller @IndieBookshopUK
School visits
I headed down to Tring to visit some fantastic schools with Our Bookshop and meet lots of eager readers and budding writers. I had a great time answering everyone’s brilliant questions and signing books!
Book signings
Right now there are signed copies of Mountainfell waiting to be had in Mr B’s in Bath, and soon to be Stanfords in Bristol. Watch this space for more!
Finally… listen out for me on BBC Radio Bristol!
And some exciting news to end with… I’ll be on BBC Radio Bristol on Sunday 4th December talking books, and also chatting about some of the news stories of the week that have caught my eye. I’ll be on from around 12.15pm so be sure to listen out if you’re free, or catch up later on BBC Sounds.
