For the last 6 weeks I have been travelling to promote my new book The Cook’s Apprentice.
A book tour can strike fear in the heart of shy and introverted authors. It is a heady mix of admiration even adulation, long car journeys, solitary moments in hotel rooms, lots of signing and smiling, and for me at least, ragged sleep as I dwell on the last event and anticipate the next. However I have been treated wonderfully well and have met many dedicated and enthusiastic bookshop proprietors.
