Bookstore joy for me at last in Anguilla

My JR Hartley moment has finally arrived …. one of my memoirs is now available in a physical bookstore (rather than just on the internet!)
And if you are too young or foreign to remember the famous UK Yellow Pages advert of the 1980s, check it out here.
 
​Alright, the bookstore is on the tiny Caribbean island of Anguilla, but tourists can go there to buy it as well as the locals
​Thanks to Dawn P. Reid at the Coral Reef Bookstore for agreeing to stock ‘First Memories’, which is about my father’s four months as a police officer on Anguilla in 1969 and about my first trip there after his death in 2012. The bookstore is on the ground floor at the back of Dawn’s lovely, detached home on the road towards Little Harbour from Anguilla’s capital The Valley. Go pay her store a visit!

How could one possibly forget J R Hartley. You certainly deserve that moment.

    Jon has travelled across the world but tends to gravitate back to the USA most frequently as he has so many good friends living there.

    He drove coast-to-coast from Boston to Seattle in 2006 and twelve years on, in 2018, did a southern return journey - San Diego to Charleston.
