Had a lot of fun at this! Talked about Mrs Caliban by Rachel Ingalls, Just Kids by Patti Smith and Cal by Bernard Mac Laverty (themes: romance, art, falling in love with unavailable men/sea creatures, people trapped in grim lives). So good to hear about Jane and Dave's books!!

This was outstanding: if you get the chance to go to @booksupstairs.bsky.social for @rickoshea.bsky.social 's brilliant (but intermittent because he's busy) Writehawks event, take it! Lovely to be on with the fabulous @daveruddenwrites.bsky.social and brilliant @sweetoblivion.bsky.social

Three writers and a multi talented broadcaster sit at a table in a beautiful old bookshop with a fireplace behind and an audience in front. Everyone is talking about books and we are all happy.
