Radio Reverb is Brighton’s alternative, a community radio station where people can express themselves, open up dialogues and set their own agendas about what’s important, interesting, funny, cool or arty in the city.

Today marked the launch of Writers’ Hub, a new hour-long literary programme devised, produced and presented by Amy Lynn Riley. The first show included interviews with local author Sue Eckstein and a feature on the City Reads project, as well as an extract from my novel, 'The Mmm Girl', read by Shannon Magness, and a new poem by me on the subject of festival, Music Reminds Us.

You can download my segment of the show here – hope you enjoy it!

Just a quick note to let you know that you can read my review of Ted Schwarz’s Marilyn Revealed in the latest issue of the Mad About Marilyn fanzine. You can also find it here.

Hi everyone,

I have recently merged my main website with this blog. You can now find everything right here, and my domain name has been changed to tarahanks.com. The older, .org address remains open until July, and will redirect all visitors to here. (So if you’re currently linking to my old website, please update - thanks in advance!)

Coming soon is the next in my series of Madonna album reviews, Like A Prayer. And after many months of research, I started writing my third novel last November - so that is keeping me very busy.

Hope you like the new-look site and, as always, thanks for reading!

Tara Hanks

“The Mmm Girl has left an indelible series of images in my memory..this novel is more accurate, in many ways, than anything else that has been written about Marilyn and it is the only book to ever leave me with a lasting impression of the loneliness and desperation of her real life.”

Stuart P. Coates, author of 'Norma Jeane’s Wishes In Time'
