All Go in Buxton

Thank you Chris and Lorraine (Book Folk of Buxton) for putting on another friendly, cosy Book Fair. It seems that every time I attend one of these events I sell a few more books than the previous time.

One of the highlights of this event was when a gentleman came to say that he had read my first novel, The Woman Who Was Not His Wife, and thoroughly enjoyed it. He then bought my second novel, The Ceres Illusion. I hope he enjoys that as much. Such comments are precious to me. It certainly made my day.

I also discovered that the two gentlemen on the stall opposite me lived within spitting distance of my home. So, as well as selling many books I also made new friends. If you are interested in Post-Industrial art look up Ian Pearsall. (www.ianrpearsall.co.uk)

A splendid day all round. I have booked for the next one. Sunday August 3rd.

New Year New – whatever

I don’t actually do the new New Year being a bit of a Julian but for those who do belated Happy New Year.

January is always a bit of a busy month for me. It takes a while for me to get over Christmas to be honest.

I volunteer to help with the local Parish magazine and January means invoices and reorganising.

So – here we are in February.

There’s lots going on.

  1. It was my turn to read the story at Praise and Play. I wrote it a bit last minuteas you can see.
  2. The following day I gave the presentation of the book of our month at the Book Club I attend. ‘The Anomaly’ by Herve Le Tellier. A nice bit od science fiction for us to get our teeth in.
  3. I have a new book at the editing stage. It is called The Frail Vessel and contains 3 novellas each with a psychological twist.

So, 2025 has started with a flourish of activities.

If you’d like a dip into the style of How Frail the Vessel why not try The Boyfriend. It’s perfect for February as a lot of the action revolves around Valentine’s Day.
