The Big Read & The Bad Neighbour

First some news dear to my heart – my book is a bestseller in 3 categories! Not big ones but I’ll take what I can get 😎

The next big thing in my life is set to become The Big Read, an event I’m organising in north London. The continuous present tense is very apt in my case. I didn’t imagine there would be so many things to think about… Lord knows how it will go, given Mr E once told me I couldn’t or

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

“When we were invited to the White House we said we would accept the invitation on one condition. If it’s just a photo session we would not go—but if Obama would listen to what was in our hearts, then we would. The message came back: you are free to say whatever you wish. And so we did!
