When the Mayor of Shrewsbury, Cllr Tony Durnell, suggested I write a blog about my book on The Lion Hotel, I was little sceptical at first.
But I have been amazed by the response worldwide and also by the press coverage leading up to book launch by Gerald Dickens, the great, great grandson of Charles Dickens, this Friday, from 11.45-12.30 in the hotel Ballroom.
There have been stories in the Stone Gazette (see picture below), the Shropshire Star, Shrewsbury Chronicle, Stafford and Stone Post, Shropshire Life magazine and Shrewsbury Living.
The Mayor, whose own blog is http://mayorofshrewsbury.wordpress.com/ says he is now a regular reader of my blog.
Also the story is on the front page of http://www.shropshiretourism.co.uk/ which is the county’s official tourism website, and also www.visitshrewsbury.com which is Shrewsbury’s official tourism website. Finally, the book is featured on www.thelionhotelshrewsbury.com the hotel’s website and on Salop Leisure's website
There are still a few tickets left for the press launch on Friday. Contact me on 01785 817465 or 07955 262633 or John@jbutterworth.plus.com for more details.
