I enjoy talking about my books to groups of readers – literary festivals, libraries, book groups. Since lockdown I’ve been doing zoom interviews. I’d be happy to hear from you if you would like to arrange one with a group.

Creative Women: Interviews with remarkable women
Thursdays at 6pm on zoom, hosted by National Women’s Register. Each month I interview a different women. These events are for members, but any woman can join for £25 a year, and that gives you access to lots of other things. https://www.nwr.org.uk/join-nwr For more about NWR, see Creative Projects
