About this Event
Join us on the evening of Thursday October 8th as we will host the book launch for Rob Delplanque’s new novel REVERSION. One of our champion local authors, Rob’s previous books Visions, She’s Not the Only One and Minds have been firm bestsellers for us. So, we are super excited for this one, especially as Rob did some of his final edits in the comfy surrounds of the shop!
Reversion is the story of David Stevenson, who at 46, is falling apart. Years of drinking have cost him his health, his friendships, and Amy, the woman he loved. Then an invitation arrives from Reversion, offering a second chance at youth. Desperate to fix his past, David doesn't hesitate. It works. Maybe too well. As David reclaims his life and tries to win Amy back, the hidden cost of his new body begins to surface.
Rob lives in Hertford, England and spends his time dreaming up and constructing elaborate stories that span multiple genres. His first published work, the novella, Echoes Of Reality, is a spin on the Simulation Hypothesis genre. He has written three further novels: She's Not the Only One, a psychological crime thriller, published March 2025. Minds, a speculative psychological drama with a supernatural edge, published August 2025. And Visions, a psychological crime thriller with a supernatural edge, published March 2026. All are available at The Book and Bottle.
