I'm the speaker at an informal get together, as part of a series of speaker-ed coffee mornings, at the New Inn pub in Ruspidge, Forest of Dean. Website is: www.newinnruspidge.co.uk and phone number is 01594 824508.
I'll be doing a reading from my 'From Wear To Wye' anthology, and will be answering questions and generally chattering to anyone who's there and wants to ask or chatter along with me. The pub's in the traditional style and I like that it's putting on as wide a range of activities and events as it can while staying in the trad style of pub. Very friendly, very cosy.
That date is Tuesday 6th April, day after Easter Monday. Reasonably priced soup and a roll on offer. And my chatter o'course :-)
Another date, Saturday evening 22nd May, Lydbrook Church of Holy Jesus - the big one on the hill going out to Joys Green. I'm leading and reading in 'On That Note' - an evening in the company of local writers, with musical interludes. I'll post the flier once it's finalised, but the writers are me with my autobiographical/travel journal tales ... Christina Hollis, writer of Harlequin tales - but we're in church, right, so Christina will be reading from her short stories, the Harlequins will be available on sale, and Rebecca Tope, writer of popular series, the Cotswold Mysteries and also the writer of the Rosemary and Thyme crime novels.
More details to follow, but there'll be readings and a question and answer time, and music in between. Not to mention the absolutely gorgeous church as setting, tis beautiful!
That's me for now
Back soon, cos I still haven't mentioned the Monmouth event last Monday
