On the eve of flying to Malta for the promotional tour for Band Of Eagles Over Malta I thought it might be helpful to give brief details of the programme in case anyone checking this website happens to be out there. In which case I’d be delighted to say hello.
Much of the activity is based around the five-star Phoenicia Hotel, Valletta and Valletta itself so no great hardship there, particularly as I stayed in a £10-a-night B&B on my last visit, when I was researching Eagles on my own money. The schedule occupies a couple of days, 2-3 November, and kicks off with signings at various bookshops in Valletta and Mellieha, as well as media interviews including TV appearances on the national network.

This fleeting taste of fame reminds me that one of my granddaughters saw my name on a billboard once, outside our local supermarket, and asked: ‘ Are you famous in Peasmarsh, Grandpa?’ Today Peasmarsh, tomorrow Malta, but entirely thanks to the enthusiastic and highly professional sales and marketing initiative created by Miller Distributors, Luqa, who look after Headline Publishing’s interests in the region. So, off to Gatwick tomorrow morning. As one of my characters might say: ‘ Tally-ho.’
