Life’s good and busy!

I’ve had hospitality from Hazel Grove’s Inner Wheel, at a celebration lunch where I was the guest speaker. We shared notes on the stories of strong women both in teh Inner Wheel and in my novels. Then I spoke to the ’58 club in Knutsford where my talk also resonated with the women who founded their group.

In January I’ll be reading the poems I wrote for the Peterloo Centenary commemoration, run by Paul Morris at Central Library . Its anthology, published by Seven Arches Press, will be launched officially on January 18th when I’ll be joining the other poets, for readings or recitals.

And to cap it all, I’ve just heard that I’ve won a joint prize for a short story, ‘Happy Families’, in Orbis magazine !
