The Restless Minds launch on the 9th October was a complete success. So many people came to support us, the atmosphere was incredible and we sold out of books on the night! If you came to listen to us read, thank you for supporting us and buying our book.
Thank you to those of you who have since bought a copy of Restless Minds from Five Leaves, we really appreciate it and hope you enjoy the book as much as we all enjoyed writing it.
You can still listen to a few contributors read on Saturday 18th October at 10:45 for the Festival of Words!
Here are some photos from the start of the night. The featured image and images below were taken by photographer, Mark James. You can follow him on Twitter:@neonshuffle. Click here for Mark’s blog.
