I AM MARGARET - Launch Party 27th June 2014 at St. Gregory's Church, Cheltenham

  • You are invited to celebrate the launch of Corinna Turner's debut novel, I AM MARGARET

    on 27th June, 7:00 - 9:30pm (Official Launch 7:30pm)

    at The Old Priory, Clarence Street, Cheltenham, GL50 3JL
I
IN MARGO’S WORLD, IF YOU DON’T PASS YOUR SORTING AT 18 YOU ARE RECYCLED.
LITERALLY.

“Look, if you don’t pass...” said Bane, “I’ll have to see what I can do about it. Because... well… I’ve been counting on marrying you for a very long time, now, and I’ve no intention of letting anything stop me!”

Margaret Verrall dreams of marrying the boy she loves and spending her life with him. But she’s part of the underground network of Believers – and that carries the death penalty.
And there’s just one other problem.
She’s going to fail her Sorting.
But a chance to take on the system ups the stakes beyond mere survival.
Now she has to break out of the Facility - or face the worst punishment of all.
Conscious Dismantlement.

I AM MARGARET is out 27th June. Read the first chapter now at: www.IAmMargaret.co.uk

Praise for:
Great style – very good characters and pace. Definitely a book worth reading, like The Hunger Games.”
EOIN COLFER , author of Artemis Fowl
“An intelligent, well-written and enjoyable debut from a young writer with a bright future.”
STEWART ROSS, author of The Soterion Mission
“This book invaded my dreams.”
Sr Mary Catherine Bloom OP


There is also this bit that goes into more detail about the target audience:

I AM MARGARET’s Target Audience:
·       Teenagers (14+) who are ‘churched’ but who are almost exclusively reading mainstream fiction.
I AM MARGARET has exactly the same tone, pace and style as a mainstream novel (NO preaching!) but features Catholic characters whose faith and morals are integral to the plot.
It will also appeal to:
·       Any Christian aged 14 to 100+, especially Catholics.
·       Any secular young person or adult open to reading a book that contains faith.

George Cardinal Pell, Prefect of the Secretariat for Economy Will Celebrate High Mass for International Juventutem Federation

News from the International Juventutem Federation:-

The International Juventutem Federation is pleased to announce that His Eminence George Cardinal Pell, Prefect of the Secretariat for Economy, has kindly accepted our invitation to be the Celebrant at a Pontifical Solemn High Mass according to the Missal of St John XXIII on Friday 24 October 2014, 6:30pm, at Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini, Parish Church of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter in Rome, Italy. The Holy Sacrifice will be offered in thanksgiving for the tenth anniversary of Juventutem, the worldwide youth movement fostering the sanctification of the young through the Roman traditions of Holy Mother Church. We are grateful to His Eminence who generously presided at Solemn Pontifical Vespers organised by Juventutem during World Youth Days in the past, first in Düsseldorf on 17 August 2005, and again in Sydney on 16 July 2008.
After Vespers in Düsseldorf, Cardinal Pell gave the following encouragements to the young WYD pilgrims of Juventutem: "I am happy to be here because the old Latin rite is one of the most beautiful things in the entire Western civilization. And I am very glad that this ancient rite has its place in the Church today. I am happy because this rite helps you to love God and to love one another. In this ancient rite we always see that our prayer is an act of worship. It is impossible to see a celebration like these Vespers as something horizontal. We have one Church only, whose Head is the Successor of Peter, with the Bishops as successors of the Apostles, and this unity is very important for the life of the Church” (translated from the original French).

Members and supporters of Juventutem are cordially invited to make arrangements to be in Rome and attend the Mass, which will be preceded by other Juventutem activities (full schedule to be advertised soon). All pilgrims in Rome are naturally invited as well, regardless of their involvement with Juventutem. The event will be part of the Populus Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage 2014. The following day, on Saturday 25 October, His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, will celebrate a Solemn Pontifical High Mass according to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite in Saint Peter’s Basilica, at 12:00 noon.

Signed: International Juventutem Federation, on 27 May 2014.
