Last night we celebrated the book birthdays of three authors: Clare Helen Welsh, Karen Owen and Rebecca Colby.
They were celebrating the releases of their latest books:
Aerodynamics of Biscuits, As Quiet as a Mouse and It’s Raining Bats and Frogs.
  
   
All three authors are members of the Society of Children’s Writers and Illustrators and have been supporting each other every step of the way through their publishing journeys so it was fitting that they all celebrated the publication of their hard work together.
We joined the three talented authors at Daunt Books in Chelsea for drinks, nibbles and of course books! It was a lovely setting for the event and there was a very large and merry crowd! It was lovely to see so many children running around as well!
The authors said a few words of thanks (which got a bit emotional in places) and also held a raffle with great prizes, including signed books, author visits and query meetings with agents and editors.
Congratulations again to Clare, Karen and Rebecca for their wonderful books and thank you for organising a lovely event!
