I bid you farewell for a while, I will be offline. You see, from 7th to 15th July 2016, I have been invited on board a Celestyal Themed Cruise around the Eastern Aegean sea in the Mediterranean.
Greek Summer Festival Themed Cruise – Women Today.
The cruise is a three or four day itinerary, but I am fortunate enough to join it for the full 7 days. The ‘Women Today’ themed cruise has a theatrical performance of ‘Shirley Valentine’ – the one character performance of a 1986 Liverpudlian housewife and the before and after transformation after she takes a holiday abroad in Greece (turned into a film in 1989).
It also has a jewellery making workshop, fashion show and…(wait for it…) a book presentation of Girl Gone Greek by yours truly!
Yes! I have been asked on board to present my novel – I’m so excited!

Off the map – offline
Now then, although I’ll be visiting ports, it basically means I’ll be offline for a good while. Internet by satellite is expensive on board and besides, it’ll be a good opportunity to have some down time and concentrate on enjoying all these different islands and ports.
And so, if you don’t see anything written by me for a few days, it’s because I’m off, promoting Girl Gone Greek and gathering new material to blog about for you all.
Aye aye Captain!
How wonderful! Have an amazing time!
Thanks Nene. Yes, it’s a great opportunity to promote Girl Gone Greek – in a Mediterranean environment (exactly where the book is set). Plus I’ve never been on a cruise as an adult – a container ship, yes (as you know)!
Keep an eye out for my adventures – I’ll write up about them once I’m back.
