Great night listening to @michaelscaines talking to @GerriKimber about her new book on Katherine Mansfield, A Hidden Life @hatchardspiccadilly.
And doubly great to meet up with @KatyaTaylor .
Writers meeting writers, my favourite way to spend a Tuesday evening in London.

Great evening listening to Gerri Kimber talking to Michael Caines from TLS about her book, Katherine Mansfield, A Hidden Life @hatchardspiccadilly. A writer I’ve long wanted to know more about and now I’m back on the train up north reading it.

So delighted that @LittleToller have published my essay on The Clearing: The Lost Dens of Leicester today.

For all those of us that hid in homemade dens in the 60s this is for you ❤️

@StuHennigan @DahliaBooks Hello
I must find out about Gardners as I’m sure I’m listed with them but they haven’t asked for any of my books??
I’m writing about Leicester now, my home town in the 60s and 70s and it’s a memoir about my mums life as a sock linker. Hope both of you will be interested??
