Welcome to Pilsen on the Christen Book Ceremony!

You are welcome to Pilsen (Czech Republic) on September 20 at 5.30 p.m.! Christen Ceremony for my fairy-tales book I´m Not Afraid of the Darkness Any More will take place in the Gallery of Western Bohemia (No. 13 Prazska Street, Plzen, Theatre Hall, second floor). My friends Anne Josephova and Tomas Jeres will moderate this unusual performance, Petr Vrobel great world known mandolin player will take care of music and Czech champions in yoyo group SpinFX will present their nice show. You can also enjoy funny fairy tales after a little bit ghostly beginning. Every visitor will obtain one picture for a keepsake on this day. At the end of the evening you will have opportunity to buy the book.

Book named I´m Not Afraid of the Darkness Any More is coming in production of the Czech Publishing House Mlada fronta. That´s crisp story about little Stephen and his teddy bear Bartholomew but about the subjects hiding in the darkness and about something that makes fearsome from the usual things above all. About grim reaper coming through the bedroom´s window every night, about the dangerous octopus, vampire from the picture on the wall and also about the darkness runing away from the wardrobe after opening – but nobody knows where.
