A cool launch

On Saturday May 10, the Blue Mountains provided the perfect backdrop to the official launch of the Natural History Society of Jamaica's Guide to the Blue and John Crow Mountains. The air was crisp and cool, the remarks and addresses were informative and enlightening, and the camaraderie evident as guests and IRP staff mingled and delighted in Strawberry Hill's wonderful views of the Mountains and sumptuous fare. Hopefully the Guide will bring more people, Jamaicans and visitors laike, to see another side of Jamaica.

What a Buzz!

The publication date for The Manley Memoirs is set for Monday May 26, 2008 and the pre-orders are coming in fast and furious following Beverley's appearance on TVJ's Profile with Ian Boyne and the serialization of the book in the Gleaner newspaper.

The book will be officially launched in Kingston on June 1, 2008, but Beverley will make her first public appearance at the Calabash Literary Festival in Treasure Beach, May 23-25. Signing events are also planned for Montego Bay, USA and the UK. Watch this space for further details.
