New book programme for radio

Well, it was the recording of the book programmes (2) for the radio today. Quite a different experience to that of simply being interviewed in that I was also being expected to give an opinion on various literary topics. No one will be surprised to hear that I wasn't lost for words at any point!!

The blurb for Not What It Seems

I've just sent off the blurb for my new novel (it's the little snippet that goes on the back to non-authors) to the publisher. How come it takes almost longer to write 120 words ABOUT the book than it took to write the whole book in the first place? Okay, I am joking - but only just!!

Another book accepted for publication!

Amazing! Novel number 10, 'Not What It Seems,' has just been accepted for publication. It obviously pays to just be quiet and get on with the writing sometimes. I must do it more often!!! 

Echo Magazine 4 August 2012

Following my interview with Maria Court of the Daily Echo (Bournemouth) she has come up with a great full page feature - with photos - in today's magazine supplement. Covering publication of my latest novel, Turn Back Time, there are also snippets about my life and about my beliefs. She's done me proud!

Interview with the Echo

Today it was Maria Court from the Echo who interviewed me. She was lovely, too, so any nerves just disappeared as we chatted and I probably talked far too much! I think the feature will be in the Echo magazine.

Really enjoyed the interview!

Katie Martin from BBC Radio Solent was just the nicest interviewer and a really lovely lady. Bright and bubbly, she seemed genuinely interested in my books and in me. Obviously very good at what she does because I wasn't nervous at all. If you missed the interview and are desperate to hear it, go to the Solent site and click on Katie Martin's name for today's date.

BBC Radio Solent Interview

Off to Southampton tomorrow to be interviewed live on air at 2.15 by BBC Solent Radio's Katie Martin about my recently published book, Turn Back Time. Nervous, moi?? I shouldn't be because I spoke to her on the phone last week and she sounded lovely and very friendly.
