Linda's book launch on 28th July at Waterstones, Tunbridge Wells attracted the largest crowd Waterstones have ever had - 92 people attended. She gave a lively talk about her two novels "The Invisible Piper" and "Tempting The Stars" and her non-fiction book called "How To Write Great Screenplays". This was followed by a question and answer session and celebratory drinks.
Here are a few of the many reviews about the evening.

I am looking forward to reading the books very much.'
