14th August is the date my ‘letter’ will appear in Best magazine…maybe I shouldn’t have told you that until I’ve seen it myself. Wish I’d known that before I sidled up to the magazine rack in the Co-op and tried to casually skim through the pages – I bet all the security cameras were trained… Read more »

Temporary insanity?!
In an attempt to take my mind off what I will now refer to as “The Troubles“, I think that I may have gone too far. In fact, I think I could admit to temporary madness (at least, I hope its temporary…) What have I done? That’s a good question – one I will probably… Read more »
The Book Club Forum
I got a message today from Michelle at The Book Club Forum (one of my favourite book-related websites) to ask if I’d be interested in being August’s Featured Author, alongside Sam Grosser. I couldn’t type my response fast enough! Its very exciting for me, as it’s a very interactive site – there are opportunities to… Read more »
Simply the 'Best'…
I’ve just spoken to a lovely journalist called Jacqueline (hope I’ve spelled that correctly) from Best magazine, and it looks like I may be getting a mention in there. I’ve read Best for ages, so it’s pretty cool to think I’m going to be in there – it’s going to be their ‘Star Letter’, but… Read more »

However, the show must go on, and I’m hoping that I’ll soon hear from Borders with regard to a book… Read more »
Life is a rollercoaster…

I’m not going to elaborate at the moment, except to say that if I published a book about current events, readers will think it’s fiction rather… Read more »
I'm ba-aaaack!!!
I’m back and while I haven’t been posting, some interesting things have been happening. Firstly, I took the bull by the horns and emailed Borders to ask why people weren’t able to order my book there. I got a reply from the General Manager, who I spoke to on the telephone and he was very… Read more »
Sleep…
Just a brief message to those of you who have contacted me recently and had no response: Sadly, my grandma Jones passed away today. I’ll be concentrating my energy on my family until after the funeral, but will reply to you soon. I’ve found this poem very comforting. Sometimes even writers forget how powerful words… Read more »
Blaydon Book thingy
The organiser of the book event at Blaydon apparently got in touch with Sarah to ask if she was still attending the event this evening (in the capacity of book seller). This conversation was yesterday (very short notice indeed). Unfortunately, the organiser didn’t contact me, so I have missed out on participating in yet another… Read more »
