What a brilliant time at @NewarkBookFest with @FrenchNicci, @MsTamarCohen, and the fantastically engaged audience. Thank you to @TheBookcase1 for selling our books and to the festival for looking after us so well.
Here is a selfie with the four of us - and Tammy's thumb 🙂

Ending my work at this year’s @NewarkBookFest on a high, chatting to @MsHelenRussell about her fascinating book ‘How to Raise a Viking’.

Funny, informative & inspiring, Helen’s insights into the Danish approach to parenting offers a more enlightened & enjoyable set of alternatives to the UK’s risk averse way of life and tells us much about Danish culture @HarperCollinsUK

I didn’t take any photos of the actual @NewarkBookFest because I am an idiot, but I DID take a (bad) photo of the lovely ceiling and of the lovely town. I will definitely be back! A wonderful place and event, so make a note for next year!

Sorry but this is iconic. The inimitable @essiefox and my silly self at @NewarkBookFest this evening in a splattering of rain. Two very happy @OrendaBooks authors. Join me on my tour: link in bio.

[Dr Tim Rideout @TimRideout1]

Fabulous end to my day’s interviewing at @NewarkBookFest with the @OrendaBooks historical fiction panel.

Great chatting with @essiefox & @AJWestAuthor about their wonderful novels ‘The Fascination’ and ‘The Betrayal of Thomas True’, books that offer compelling, exciting narratives, with historical authenticity & intelligent insight into the human condition.

This is what book festivals are all about.

In other news, Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds & Donald O’Connor have just been recast… #SinginInTheRain.

[Dr Tim Rideout @TimRideout1]

An early start this morning @NewarkBookFest, battling genres with the amazing @JoCallaghanKat @rowancoleman @HolSmale & @GilesKristian - a fine cadre of superb authors.

Peace broke out as we concluded that the whole concept of genre is ultimately reductive - it’s all about great writing and great storytelling.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Miriam Halahmy’s ‘Saving Hanno’ events have been cancelled. For more info regarding refunds please see your email or contact the Palace Theatre.
