You're invited to the launch of A Jacketing Concern by Margaret Southall, Oct 7, in Ottawa

Hi, Brian.

At last, after having having its publication date postponed three times, my debut novel, 

A Jacketing Concern, published by Knox Robinson of London & Atlanta, is now available in paperback on Amazon and Barnes Noble, and on Waterstones and Foyles in the UK.

The novel will have its official launch:

Saturday, October 7

1 pm to 3 pm

at Books on Beechwood

35 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa  (map here)

Everyone is welcome!

A Jacketing Concern is an historical novel set in London and on the Sussex coast during the Regency period. At first glance the title might give prospective readers the idea that the novel is about problems in the tailoring trade; however, there is a much more sinister

explanation.  “A jacketing concern” is a phrase from the slang of the London underworld at the beginning of the 19th century. It means someone has taken someone else’s wealth and position by underhand means. I hope readers will be intrigued enough by that explanation and the odd juxtaposition of a young chimney sweep and geese on the front cover to buy the book.
