I love speaking at events such as literary festivals, bookshop events and arts festivals. I’ve done this on my own and as part of a panel – subjects have included mothers and daughters, characters that disappear, keeping identity, crime, parenthood or just simply reading from and discussing the book. I’m also really interested in talking about the writing process and the journey to publication – getting an agent etc. I also write articles and short stories for publication.
