I was pleased to be featured on the Confessions of a Bookaholic blog as the author in the spotlight, answering questions that included whether being British has influenced my writing in any way and why I think Grey is the most interesting character I’ve created so far?
I love flash fiction – it’s the sort of thing that fills in the cracks of a day and sparks thoughts and ideas to fire off in different directions.
I was really pleased to have a story chosen by FlashFlood who published a new piece every ten minutes for twenty four hours – a true flood. I’m sure there’s something for everyone among that deluge so why not paddle around and see what you can find.
By the way, there is a connection between the photo and my story…
It’s been a busy few days.
On Thursday I popped into the London Book Fair for the first time – it’s as you’d imagine a trade show to be, with lots of stands and seminars. It was great to see Quantum Confessions on the SilverWood stand and I learnt about how to approach festivals for speaking gigs, which is something I’m interested in doing a lot more of.
On Friday I was at the Indie ReCon 2015 event at Foyles on Charing Cross Road which is of course a great venue. The Indie Author scene is an interesting one and hearing, thinking and talking about how the publishing industry is changing and how authors are increasingly in control of their own destiny was heartening and invigorating.
