Our trip to Malta meant an early start
to the day; we were on the 6:45 am ferry watching the early morning sun as we
made our way across the short stretch of water between Gozo and Malta.
We had decided not to drive, as we were
unsure where we were going, so a car was waiting for us as we got off the
ferry. This proved to be the right decision as the traffic in the centre of Malta
was back to back. Our driver however, demonstrated his wealth of local
knowledge, as he snaked around all the back streets to get us to our first
destination on time.
In the Radio Malta Studio
I was delighted to meet with Frederick
Zammit at Radio Malta and to be his guest on the early morning show. I
discussed my book, Known to Social
Services with Frederick and enjoyed his easy banter and friendly
manner. We parted ways with a promise of
a return visit when I have finished my sequel book!

Our car awaited us and it was off to
Agenda Books in Valletta for a morning of book signing. I was able to sit outside the shop, and watch
the tourists strolling in the Malta sun. It was lovely to meet with so many passers-by
and to chat with them about the book. Several of them declared their intent to
download the book to their Kindle to read on their plane journey home.

Others preferred to get a signed paperback
copy to take away with them.

I am grateful to the staff of Agenda
Books who welcomed us and offered us their hospitality for the morning.

The day was made more entertaining by a mime artiste “fairy”, who set up her stall across from us!

We were thankful for our driver, who
was waiting for us at the end of a tiring but worthwhile and enjoyable day. I
am reliably informed by Steve that I slept all the way back to the ferry in the
car!
Well it was an early start J
