The paperback edition of The Paris Peacemakers will come out in October with a stylish new cover, and I’m delighted to share some events which are coming up. These are all free but ticketed: please do sign up and come along!

I’m so pleased to be taking part in the Portobello Book Festival again! I’ll be part of a panel on Women in Historical Fiction along Jane Anderson, author of The Paintress, and Sue Lawrence, author of Lady’s Rock. The panel will be chaired by Joanne Baird of the wonderful Portobello Book Blog. It should be a really interesting discussion. Tickets are available from Portobello Library.

Then on Wednesday 9 October at 6pm I’ll be in conversation with Helen Graham, author of The Real Mackay, at Edinburgh Central Library, chaired by Susan Elsley. In an event of interest to writers and readers alike, we’ll be talking about finding inspiration in family stories and using these to create historical fiction. Tickets are available here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/edinburgh/edinburgh-central-library-george-washington-browne-room/flora-johnston-and-helen-graham-in-conversation-family-stories-in-historical-fiction/e-eqvpyq

And I’m excited on Tuesday 12 November to be celebrating the launch of the paperback in the fabulous HTA Design Studio at 75 Wallis Road, London at 6 for 6.30pm. I’ll be in conversation with Lisa Highton of Jenny Brown Associates. Tickets available soon.

Hope to see you there!
