Hay-on-Wye comes to Wirksworth

I’ve just learned that Wirksworth is about to hold its own Hay-on-Wye book festival. They are calling it the Big Book Day and it is being held on Saturday, 8 April. It’ll be the culmination of a series of story and book events held across the town during the previous week.  It’s going to be a real celebration of stories and storytelling. So you will imagine I couldn’t resist taking a stall from 10am on Sat 8 April in the Memorial Hall. Do put the date in your diary. Hope to see you there.  Sue

    My talk to Starkholmes WI

    Wednesday, 8th February found me spending a delightful evening speaking to the ladies of Starkholmes WI.  They were interested to hear how I became a writer of children’s picture books and were keen for me to read “Alfie’s Story” to them.  They must have enjoyed the evening, as I made several sales of “Alfie’s Story”,…
