Recent Events
I gave a talk and met the members of Chorley Writers’ Circle, Lancashire, on September 8th. It was the first time I’ve done such an event and it was great to meet so many writers in one place.

I also visited Westcraven High Technology College, Barnoldswick on September 11th. It was a great event and I gave two talks. The staff were very enthusiastic about the books and the audiences were a pleasure to talk to. I have another event with the school librarian, Chris Tatton, on Thursday 22nd October at the public library Barnoldswick. Details will appear soon.
