Super evening @OSOArtsCentre #Barnes last night with the wonderful Rhidian Brook and Tor Udall talking about #TheKillingofButterflyJoe and #AThousandPaperBirds. Two must-read books!

Oh, and I got to wear my first 'madonna' mic. I resisted the urge to start vogueing ... but the tech was GREAT! 💃🏻🙌🏼

2 years after A Thousand Paper Birds was published, I did my final event last night and it was one of my favourites. A full theatre, beautifully hosted by @BarnesLitSoc. The love for ATPB in the signing queue was overwhelming. Thanks to Jo, @Rhidianbrook & everyone who came📚

Rhidian Brook and Tor Udall are in conversation at the @OSOArtsCentre #Barnes tonight talking about The Killing of Butterfly Joe and A Thousand Paper Birds. It promises to be a wonderful evening!

Just before a long car journey, recently, I grabbed some random CDs to keep me company and ended up listening to Damien Rice's 'O' for 4 hours. I'd forgotten how blisteringly brilliant it is ... and yet I could remember EVERY SINGLE WORD.

Great news! The novel is not “absolutely doomed”. Fabulous evening on Wednesday with Professor John Mullan challenging Will Self’s assertion. We loved John’s argument plus his quiz on Jane Austen’s Emma. He reminded us what a super book that is!
