My friend, the wonderful Mahtab Narsimhan, has a new book out this month. I’ve read it, and I can tell you that in addition to the story being lovely… it’s going to make you hungry. I decided to invite Mahtab in for a little chat to talk about that, and a few other things, too.Continue reading “Are you Ready to Embrace Your Inner Chicken?”

You Owe Me…
Just this month, the amazing and prolific author Eileen Cook has released her latest salvo onto the YA market. Eileen’s novels are available in eight languages, and have been optioned for film and TV.

Ducking the Spam
As a follow-up to my last post, I thought I might offer a few tips about getting the word out when you’ve made New Art and are ready to share. I am ALL ABOUT the joyousness of this occasion. There is nothing like having a new book/website/other brilliant work baby, and sharing it with yourContinue reading “Ducking the Spam”
Collegiality, Rising Tides and Spam Sandwiches

Favourite Cookbooks?
Old and new So, today, after a visit to the winter farmer’s market, I took the plunge and for the first time, made cabbage and leek soup. I’ve always side-eyed anything with cabbage in it — not so much that I don’t like the taste, but that I’ve never been convinced I’ve got the skillContinue reading “Favourite Cookbooks?”
Favourite 2018 Fiction
Best of 2018…what do you think? 2019. Seems such a weird number. Now that cheque-writing is not so much of a thing any more, I’ve hardly become used to 2018, yet. Slow to adapt, I guess. One of the things I’m trying to do better this year is to talk about the books I’ve readContinue reading “Favourite 2018 Fiction”
Tap, tap, tap…
