Reading at Frank O'Connor Festival
Lovely news. Doing a reading at The Frank O'Connor Festival in Cork, in September. Together with fellow Salt writer, Carys Davies. Three days, all found. Smashing!
Excellent. There will be a real buzz about that, I think. I think old Frank would have liked Words from a Glass Bubble, the stories would have been right up his street. Which is a nice street to be up.
What a nice thing to know... thanks Os. I'm looking forward to exploring Cork too. I always fly in and fly out at the moment. Will be nice to stay a while. V
Waterstone’s says: "...some of the most beautifully crafted and engrossing stories that one can read..." The Asham Award website says: "This stunning range of work is not afraid to explore the darker side of human emotion, yet allows us to see the light which often wavers at the end of the bleakest and longest tunnel. These beautifully written stories are in the best literary tradition, lyrical yet understated. "

I didn't realise there was a Festival as well! Congratulations - it's a great opportunity.
