Fiona Snyckers’ Tweets from the Launch of Worst Case (Plus: Gallery)
Following a successful launch at The Book Lounge in Cape Town, the Joburg-based Jassy Mackenzie launched her brand new novel, Worst Case, at Exclusive Books Morningside on 25 August.
Books LIVE member, Fiona Snyckers, author of Trinity on Air, brought the launch to those who could not make it by livetweeting with the hashtag livebooks. Here are some of her tweets:
Jassy Mackenzie at Exclusive Books, morningside. #livebooks http://t.co/0O7uzBd
Mackenzie: when I wrote ‘Random Violence’ I never suspected that Jade de Jong would turn into a series character. #livebooks
Mackenzie: this book owes its existence to a lovely vivacious author called Bree O’Mara who invited me to do a talk for her. #livebooks
Mackenzie: Bree’s stories enthralled me and stimulated my imagination. She was killed in the air crash over Tripoli last year. #livebooks
Mackenzie: Bree’s stories died with her, but she had influenced me to write the plot of ‘Worst Case’, with oil as a central idea. #livebooks
Mackenzie: Jade is on holiday for most of this book, although unfortunately being chased by baddies a lot of the time. #livebooks
Jassy reads an excerpt from Worst Case in which Jade is tied up with wire on a boat, attached to another woman. #livebooks
