Hay-on-Wye comes to Wirksworth

ByGed

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

    ByGed

    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”,…

  • Alfie jets off to Oz

    ByGed

    I was recently surprised to receive an email from Australia.  Turns out that a very lovely grandmother who lives over there was on holiday in the UK last year and bought “Alfie’s Story” and an Alfie soft toy cat to go with it.  Back in Oz, she gave them both to her grandson, Finn. What…
