A Day in Malta

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
