Festivals
I’ve appeared as a speaker at most of the main literature festivals including Hay on Wye, Cheltenham, Ikley, Warwick, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, London, Latitude, Hong Kong, Mumbai and of course the brilliant Birmingham Book Festival.

Most recently, in April 2018, I was a speaker at the Festival British Screen des Ecrans Britanniques in Nimes, France, where they surprised me at the airport with a white rose.


‘I’m just writing to say thank you once again for coming to Kenilworth Library last Wednesday, and what a pleasure it was to have you there. All the audience had such an enjoyable and interesting time, and I have had 100% good feed back from them.’
