The Queens Platinum Jubilee.

There are so many celebrations throughout the UK in the next few weeks that it is going to be difficult to choose which ones to attend, However, my place is firmly secured for the celebrations at The Mansfield Central Library on Saturday, May 28th when I will be reading to the local children. Having a letter of endorsement from HRH The Duchess of Cornwall related to my book ‘ Morning Mystery’ has prompted me to read an extract on this very special day. From 10.30 until 3pm the day will be packed with entertainment.

Location: Four Seasons Centre, Mansfield, NG18 1NH

Our Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration.

On the 6th of February this year, Her Majesty The Queen became the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. In recognition of this event, there will be 4 days of celebration throughout the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries.

I too am joining in with these celebrations and it is my delight to report that I have been invited to my local library in Mansfield to read my illustrated children’s book as part of the celebration of this special occasion.

On Saturday, May 28th I will be doing an interactive reading session of ‘Morning Mystery’ Book one of The Coop Chaos Series.
