Tonto Press Newsletter: Book Launches, Signings & More
Tonto Press
We've got a busy month coming up, so as promised here's a rundown of
what we've got, with invitations to some fab events.
*The Rocketbelt Caper book launch*
*Johnny Lonely book signing*
*Book release dates*
*Jonny Kennedy Asda charity launch*
*The Burglar's Dog badge offer*
*Durham Lit Fest reminder*
*The Rocketbelt Caper book launch*
The launch event for Paul Brown's The Rocketbelt Caper will be held at
Brick Works studios, Ouseburn, Newcastle upon Tyne this coming
Thursday 6th September from 7.30pm. The book, which has already been
snapped up by Hollywood, tells the bizarre but completely true tale of
a murder involving a Buck Rogers-style flying jetpack, and we'll be
showing documentary footage at the launch to prove it! So why not pop
along for a drink and a nibble and grab a copy of the book so you can
be all clued up before the movie comes out?! We hope to see you there.
You can find directions to Brick Works here:

*Johnny Lonely book signing*
There's another chance to meet Johnny Lonely author Pete Tanton and
get a signed copy of his award-winning novel (and a free badge) this
Saturday 1st September at Borders, Team Valley Retail Park, Gateshead
(0191 4877803). Pete will be there from 12 for much of the afternoon
so, if you are in the area, do pop along and say hello. Pete's last
signing event was a great success, with Johnny Lonely outselling every
other book on the day. If you can't get along, the book is also
available direct from Tonto, or from Amazon and all other good
bookshops. Read more about Johnny Lonely here:

The Burglar's Dog is released on 15 October, and if you pre-order from
amazon.co.uk following the instructions on our website we'll send you
a brand new set of four exclusive Burglar's Dog pin badges absolutely
free. Unfortunately we had random and annoying problems with the
original email address related to the offer. Therefore if you have
already sent us an email requesting a set of badges but have not had a
response please can you forward your email to contact [at] tontopress
[dot] com, which is the new email to use for all future badge
requests. Apologies for any inconvenience caused! You can read more
about the book, and the badge giveaway here:

*Durham Lit Fest reminder*
Don't forget that Tonto authors Pete Tanton (Johnny Lonely), Roz
Wyllie, Stephen Shieber and Katie-Ellen Hazeldine (all More Tonto
Short Stories) will open this year's Durham Literature Festival at the
Gala Studio, Durham on Saturday 29th September at 2pm. The 'Pete
Tanton and Friends' event will see all four authors introduce and read
from their work, and there will be an opportunity to meet them and
have books signed. You can book tickets for the event here:

That should be enough to keep you going for now, we'll hope to see you
at some of the events!
