The danger of overexposure

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

The random media appearances continue. After my triumphant appearance in the Pontefract & Castleford Express, I’m running the risk of overexposure by being interviewed in the latest issue of TNT and popping up fleetingly in the Somerset episode of new Hairy Biker’s TV series – Food Tour of Britain. In TNT magazine I discuss the [...]

A (video) blast from the past

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I got an email from Peter Macken the other day asking where he could find that video of me talking about Vroom with a View at Mosman Library. He’d stumbled on it a couple of years ago and couldn’t remember where. I couldn’t help him. As far as I could remember I’d never been videoed [...]

Last Day of Summer

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

The sun is setting on a lovely day at the beach on Bracklesham Bay. Daisy is snuggled up on my chest, exhausted. We’re listening to Mrs Cold off the new Kings of Convenience album, Declaration of Dependence. It’s one of those moments that’ll stay with me forever. The last day of summer, 2009.

Loving my new Aussie passport

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

And there’s the promise of a ‘glittering award ceremony.’ Not much use to the rest of you outside the UK, but I’ll keep my [...]

The ascent of (Ro)man

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Those of you who have read Swahili for the Broken-Hearted know that I didn’t quite make it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Me and the bright pink fleece my guide gave me didn’t quite have what it takes. I’ve always felt bad about it. Even more so now that every man and his dog [...]

Daisy’s first day at school.

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I try not to talk too much about my personal life on this blog. I set it up to keep you guys informed about my books and stuff and maybe give a bit of an insight into a writer’s life. I figured that’s what you’d be interested in. Not what I had for breakfast or [...]
