Clara is certainly
being wheeled out now. She also appears in The House on Schellberg Street and that is coming out on 11 April.
On 17 April, I’ll
be reading from both The House on
Schellberg Street and Clara’s Story,
along with my two very good friends and talented writers, Sarah Dobbs and
Debz-Hobbs-Wyatt, who will also read from their work, at the beautiful
International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester.
We’re holding an
event called Women’s Writing. We’ll be talking a little about our writing and
reading some excerpts. Then we’ll also read from a project we’re working on
together. We’ll also discuss what writing within the framework of Higher
Education is like, whether studying at university helped our journeys as
writers and what our relationship to the academy is like now and whether that
helps or hinders our writing process. And we’ll do a Q and A session.
