We simply can’t wait for theatres to reopen and to be able to entertain you once more… in the meantime, enjoy this sneak peek into the glamorous glittering ‘ Showtime‘ world. As an active avoid-war-stories-my-emotions-can't-cope kind of reader this certainly isn't my usual reading material, and yet the idea of a hotel and all its hard working staff was gently appealing.
As publication date approaches for my new novel, The Ballroom Blitz, I’m delighted to let you know that I’ll be appearing at a marvellous selection of literary events over the coming weeks to talk all about it! In 2009 he presented the United Kingdom version of Hole in the Wall for the BBC, replacing Dale Winton, after being a team captain in 2008.On swapping the dance floor for the judges panel, he told Chris: “I feel really happy right now, because I’m really loving the show, I’m loving being a judge on the show. And then there's Nancy, holding the fort at the Buckingham, promoted now and trying to juggle work and what is going on with Raymond. The fourth in the series, and although I'd only read the first one so I'd got a bit to catch up on having missed books 2 and 3, it really didn't take too long to get thoroughly into where and who the characters were. I can’t begin tell you how thrilling it was to meet so many of you at these events in previous years, such a joy – I’m so looking forward to having that opportunity again with ‘We’ll Meet Again’; do please come along – or log on – if you can! He has just married his sweetheart, hotel chambermaid Nancy but he feels it is his duty to fight for his country and enlist.
we are now approaching the war and find out how that affects both staff and guests at the Buckingham. Du Beke began dancing at 14, when he discovered his local dance school, the Holton School of Dancing in Sevenoaks. Speaking about one particular recurring character in the series, Georges de la Motte, Anton revealed the real-life inspiration behind him.Nevertheless, keep tabs on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and my mailing list to stay in the loop with all the news and announcements! you’ll get a marvellous insight into my Buckingham novels… and no doubt plenty of backstage and behind-the-scenes info too… Absolutely unmissable! That said, I’m sure she won’t mind me saying (given last week’s 13 points) that I think we may be in need of your votes this weekend! From the glamour of the ballroom with Archie Adam’s music playing for all the guests to enjoy, whilst watching the enchanting seasoned dancers of the Buckingham Hotel waltz away, versus the harsh juxtaposition of outside the hotel doors, where the war ridden streets of London awaits full of looters, air raid sirens, bombs and last but especially not least the brave volunteers for the war effort. Unfortunately I was only able to give this book 3 stars because it was edited so badly that I almost couldn't read it.
It took a little while to familiarise myself with the characters as there are a number and I had not read the earlier books in the Buckingham Hotel series. Huge apologies – I’m so sorry to be the bearer of such news, I know we’ve all been looking forward to the tour so much!
Our brand new tour, Showtime, gets a big plug – and the trailer video is just fabulous – dates are now booking for 2022, postponed of course from last year. They all have issues and most of the story involved everything from profiteering to mental health problems, poor family relationships and greed.
Great Deal
