When the time draws to and end on my life and the credits role, this memory will definitely be a resounding one. 8:30pm, one glass of white whine consumed, A2 folder containing press material for Ed Siegle's Invisibles under one arm. Taxi waiting outside, vintage lace dress from a Brighton thrift store billowing, running down the steps of Canning House with heels clattering, hand on hair-band that stands risk of being whipped away. Into Taxi, into darkness with the Myriad team. Heart racing, pounding. We're headed for the 9:01pm train. This is everything I ever dreamed.
Enough gushing:
Tonight we launched Invisibles to a crowd of 50+ at Canning House in London. The event was a huge success, with much enjoyment. Here's a teaser photo from the event, with the full album and videos to appear on Facebook and Youtube tomorrow.
The crowd pulled into the event were varied. From linguistics students, to reviewers, to art dealers, to Ed's highly devoted friends and family - the function room at Canning House was packed to the brim with eager faces ready to hear extracts from the novel. Myriad were lucky to feature Martin Raven, who introduced the book with a reflection on his own personal accounts and experiences of living and working in Brazil.
Ed perfectly read three extracts from his book, prior to which he explained a little bit more about his motivations and ideas behind writing a book about Brighton and Rio, and Myriad sold out of copies that later had the opportunity to be signed by the man himself! The Q & A section revealed yet more insights into the world of Invisibles, some of which are highlighted on the origins page on Ed's personal website.
Stay tuned for news of event reviews and the full gallery of photos tomorrow!

Love and Dindi,
