Sales Points
Publishing as a hardback in Autumn 2026, this memoir is perfectly timed to build on
Celia's hugely successful appearance on The Traitors, offering readers more time in
her company at a moment of peak public interest.
Celia is highly experienced on the live events circuit and regularly appears with her co
writer and travel companion Fidelis Morgan. Her refusal to fly and insistence on
travelling by train to events offers a distinctive, playful hook for a travel led
promotional campaign with strong media and bookseller appeal.
The book will strongly appeal to Celia's existing fiction readership, as many of the
journeys featured were undertaken as research for her novels. These include travelling
across America by boat and Amtrak, journeys across Europe, book tours around the
UK, and extended stays in Nice, where she has an apartment.
Packaged in a warm, cosy style, the book promises joy, escapism, and adventure,
inviting readers to slow down and spend more time with Celia. Its comforting, giftable
appeal makes it an ideal autumn hardback for readers seeking humour, heart, and
reassurance in uncertain times.
The book will attract fans of The Thursday Murder Club, viewers of The Traitors, and
readers of cosy, witty travel m
