‘Throng’ n. – A multitude of persons or of living beings pressing or pressed into a close body or assemblage; a crowd.
This section of the Woman on the Edge of Reality blog is called The Thursday Throng in honour of the throng that waits eagerly at the bookshop door when a new author book signing or speaking.
It takes the form of a ‘Meet the Author’ online event with some information about our author’s latest book and an interview. Some authors also offer giveaways of their books and others have reviews I’ve written posted on Amazon (UK and US) and Goodreads.
