The Northern Echo, Spark FM and more - my writing week

I was interviewed by Sunderland University MA students Grace Stewart-Piercy & Kaitlyn Ashby for their 'In Her Element' radio show on award-winning station Spark FM and you can listen to it from 7mins, 30secs at https://lnkd.in/eK6MfSz5

More books delivered today to the wonderful FruFru & Friends gift shop and tea room in Grangetown, Sunderland

My books were loaned from libraries a whopping 42,933 times between July 2023 - June 2024. If you can guess which was the most popular with library users during that time, you can win a signed book of your choice.

I'm honoured to be part of the Festival of Local Authors at County Durham Libraries next month.

Much of this week has been taken up editing my novel, the last in The Toffee Factory Girls trilogy. I worked in the quiet and peaceful library at Sunderland University with this view of Wearmouth bridge.

And I'm featured in The Northern Echo. You can read the interview by Grace Stewart-Piercy here.

I crafted another episode of my weekly soap opera Riverside for The People's Friend magazine. I've been writing Riverside weekly since 2016 and you can find out all about it here.
