@theAliceRoberts Prof Roberts @theAliceRoberts wrote a single word (Really?!) which seems to have triggered some very unpleasant responses. Surely we can agree to disagree without the hate.

Sometimes the BBC likes to downplay things...such as using the word 'Dozens' in this report. If the report is true, then I personally know every single one of them. https://t.co/dtDNhomWld

As always it's a busy time running up to the holidays. Recent projects include working with the prolific Will Coleman of @GoldenTreeUK on the audiobook version of Billy and the Man Engine, recorded at the studios of @ChatterboxHello in Cornwall

I love hearing other people's stories. I never get bored as there is always variety. Even if, on the face of it, someone's story feels familiar...school, college, work etc There is always a different path, a fork in the road, that makes that person's story unique.

Why miss out? Self-published authors should not overlook audiobooks. https://t.co/V0lGmC8SgP

Despite the pandemic work has been coming in...hurrah! Recent books/audiobooks I've worked on:
Secrets of Churchill's War Rooms by Jonathan Asbury,
The China Doll by Margaret Yorke, and The Recovery Toolkit by Sue Penna. A broader range of subjects you'd be hard to find.

[mark pugh @markpughwriter]

'The Recovery Toolkit - A 12 week plan to support your journey from Domestic Abuse' by Sue Penna (edited by me) is available on Amazon. It's a straight talking positive guide for survivors of domestic abuse who are dealing with the ongoing effects.

Self-Employed Help To Be Announced Today (Possibly)
Cornwall MP, Derek Thomas, replying to my asking him about the plight of the self-employed, wrote that there had been pressure to create some sort of “universal income for the self-employed...there may be an announcement today”.

Fantastic stuff from @Mark_Jenkin all on a budget that would put Poladark on air for ten mins.

[mark pugh @markpughwriter]

@PenzanceLitfest is happening in less than a month and I've only just looked at what's on offer. Des Hannigan, Liz Fenwick @liz_fenwick , Emma Timpany, Sue Kittow @floweringpot , and more

Enjoyed @theatrepipeline 's #dripdripdrip @BurrellTheatre last night. Probably the most intelligent and well-crafted pieces of theatre I've seen in this neck of the woods for a long time. Congrats to writer, cast, director and everyone else involved https://t.co/pZg3VNN12R

[mark pugh @markpughwriter]

Stunning new exhibition at @NTTrelissick House and Garden about Ida Copeland the former owner and Julian Kulski, a Polish wartime refugee she helped save. Features work by artist Amada Slade, various volunteers and even a little something by myself. https://t.co/an8FWs1IEk

Eventually caught the fabulous Katie Kirk and Rick Williams duo @stivesfestival last Friday. A rare folky treat. Katie's beautiful voice is perfectly matched by Rick's guitar and sublime song writing skills. Why did it take me so long?

[St Ives September @stivesfestival]

A MUST FOR FOLK FANS!
Listen to West Cornwall folk duo Katie Kirk and Rick Williams - and see and hear more of them at the St Ives September Festival.
Katie and Rick are... https://t.co/CdlV9RNdkS

It's the last day of the fantastic @BreezeFair a showcase of some of the the best art and makers in Cornwall and beyond, being staged at @trereifehouse near Penzance

[mark pugh @markpughwriter]

Life Girl by Jane Pugh. It was one of the highlights from last year's Penzance Litfest. A fantastic show. I admit to bias as Jane is my multi-talented sister. https://t.co/OJPtHV3eJR
