January 2013



A convincing January scene.

Now that February is upon us I've just realised that I've fallen behind with the blog! The beginning of January saw the launch of Overheard at the Betsey Trotwood in London's Farringdon district. It was a busy, lively event in which many of the readers came along to read extracts from their own short stories in the anthology. A good night was had by all!
Here's a blog post by Lindsay Waller-Wilkinson, complete with photos and things. Read here!

Then there was the snowy Shindig with the lovely Julie Boden, Dave Reeves, Jayne Stanton and David Clarke. If that wasn't enough I went to Leeds to read at the Poetry by Heart event at the Heart Cafe in Headingly along with fellow Leicester poets Matt Merritt, Roy Marshall and Deborah Tyler-Bennett. We also read with River Wolton and Gareth Durasow. It was a lovely evening.

Pleas note: my (late) new year's resolution is to try and write more fuller accounts of events without asking people to click 'here' every time.
