“I only drink champagne,” a friend once remarked. Why not? It’s fizzy, fascinating, almost calorie-free and so pure you’d have to drink shedloads to have a hangover. Although I’d never write friends and acquaintances into my crime thrillers (unless they volunteer, like lovely librarian Jackie Molloy), that line is bound to find its way into a book!
Of course, writers like a tipple but drinking champagne every day, or even newly trendy British sparkling wine, is beyond the budget. I really appreciated this recent newspaper feature about wallet-friendly fizz – do take a look.
However, I’m pushing the boat out for my book launch party in Birmingham, because it’s one of those nights when only champagne will do. The Bride’s Trail is a great crime thriller, and it’s worth celebrating! Have you got your free ticket yet?
