Blog Appearance

I've always been a great believer in saying 'yes' to an opportunity and then working out later how I'm going to achieve it, or to pluck up the necessary courage to do it. In this way, over the years, I've agreed to teach a whole raft of subjects I had no business teaching - including - if you can believe it, because I still can't entirely - touch typing. Given that I normally teach creative writing, that was a bit of a leap, and the course organiser must have been desperate, but hopefully the students got something out of it!

I have recently been interviewed about my novel Five Winters on the excellent The Shit No One Tells You About Writing blog - an incredible opportunity to reach out to potential readers, and one I couldn't possibly turn down. I was very nervous before and during the recording, but I've just listened to it, and I'm very relieved to say that this doesn't come across. Phew! Why not take a listen? My appearance starts at 30 minutes in.
