Save the date! Me, John Marrs and Fiona Cummins live. . .

Save the date. I’ve been trying to persuade John Marrs to do a live event for years and he has finally agreed!

So on the afternoon of Saturday, October 21, we will be appearing at Books On The Hill in St Albans with Fiona Cummins, chaired by Tracy Fenton, and it’s going to be so much fun.

This could be your one and only chance to see John and it will also be my last event of 2023.

Quotes by Mark Edwards (?)

“She took out an Ian McEwan book, flicked through it and said, ‘I love this. I can’t bear people who don’t read. I think they must have something wrong with them, don’t you?’ ‘I guess so.’ ‘Books, music, art, films.’ She held up her glass. ‘Good wine. It’s what life’s all about.’ I held up my own glass. ‘To books, music, art, films and wine.”
― Mark Edwards, Because She Loves Me

“We used to say that we loved each other but, looking back, I think we said it more because we felt we should.”

“This was life, really lived, really experienced, a passage of magic that would flash before our eyes when we died.”
