TABLOID superstar and ex glamour model Katie Price is visiting Birkenhead to personally sign copies of her brand new novel.<\/p>\n
A huge crowd of fans are expected at WH Smith in The Grange and Pyramids Shopping Centre on Sunday June 24 to welcome the top celebrity and businesswoman to the town.<\/p>\n
Speaking about her trip to the Wirral, Katie said: \u201cI’m really looking forward to my visit to Birkenhead. I haven’t been before but I’m told it’s a lively town so I can’t wait to see it for myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love my signings as it’s always such fun meeting my fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
Derek Millar, Commercial Director for The Grange and Pyramids Shopping Centre, said it was a terrific coup for the centre to be welcoming such a high profile and popular celebrity.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI must congratulate WH Smith on securing such a top name as Katie Price and I know there will be lots of local fans out there who will be very excited to meet her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is because we have big name retailers like WH Smith at the centre that we are able to stage exciting events such as this one and I think her arrival will create a real buzz in the town.\u201d<\/p>\n
Darren Brockbank, store manager of WH Smith, agreed with Derek and added: \u201cWe are all really excited in the store about hosting this event and bringing Katie Price to Birkenhead.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone knows who she is \u2013 she is such a big celebrity and I am very grateful to both her team and WH Smith for making this opportunity possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Katie, formerly known as Jordan, has sold close to five million copies of her books worldwide and In The Name of Love is her eighth novel.<\/p>\n
She has called on her knowledge of the equestrian world to inspire her this time in a story which revolves around the character of Charlie, a feisty sports presenter.<\/p>\n
She falls for the irresistibly handsome Felipe Castillo, a brilliant rider who is the lynchpin of the Spanish eventing team and tipped for a medal in the 2012 Olympics.<\/p>\n
But Felipe walks away from their passionate affair without explanation and it is only then that Charlie discovers Felipe is one of Spain\u2019s top riders and related to royalty.<\/p>\n
She soon realises that their romance does not please everyone including his disapproving mother and the couple soon find they have a lot to overcome if their relationship is to survive.<\/p>\n
Katie writes all of her books, including her autobiographies, in partnership with Rebecca Farnworth.<\/p>\n
Katie, a mum-of-three and star of her own reality show, said: \u201cReal teamwork goes into the writing of my books and for the novels Rebecca and I have such fun working out the storylines together.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s was really great writing In The Name Of Love with her as it has a strong horsey theme and I loved putting my love and knowledge of the equestrian world into the storyline.\u201d<\/p>\n
