I enjoy talking about my books to groups of readers — at literary festivals, in libraries, or for book groups. Since lockdown these have been on zoom, so I can join a group wherever it meets. I’d be happy to hear from you if you would like me to talk to a group you are connected with.

Coming from September 2021:
‘Untold Stories’
In this new series of on-line interviews I will be introducing writers who have uncovered hidden family stories or written a biography of a creative life. How they each came to write their books is almost as interesting as the books themselves.
Hosted by the National Women’s Register but open to anyone, free.
Thursdays @ 7pm – book at https://nwr.org.uk

My last live event before the pandemic hit — in north-east Somerset. Here’s a clipping from a local paper — imagine, 60 of us, all in one room!
Thoroughly enjoyed Marion’s Q & A session with a group of local readers, followed the next day by an inspirational workshop, presented in Marion’s generous and gentle way, think about why writing matters, and what we all have to share from our own life experience.
