Virtual visit for Cecelia Ahern

BEST-selling author Cecelia Ahern will be beginning a virtual author tour in Liverpool on Friday.

Unable to embark on her worldwide promotional visits this year due to the arrival of her first baby, she will be talking to fans via real-time Skype video from her Dublin home.

The first event will take place at 6pm at Waterstones in Liverpool One, where readers can buy pre-signed copies of her new works The Book of Tomorrow and The Gift. Virtual trips to Frankfurt, Johannesburg, Sydney, Australia and Singapore will follow.
