Inspiring, Amanda! I’ll be at York this year doing a workshop/presentation, did my first ever workshop last year and it went quite well, so perhaps a little less nervous this time! Hope to see you over the weekend and hear your keynote, it will be brilliant x

Won’t be there this year, Skylark, but you deserve all your success. Hope your key note speech goes brilliantly and that you can enjoy the moment in spite of your nerves. Sending a hug. x

@louisewalters Kept wondering why your name seemed so familiar and remembered you are Louise Walters of Mrs Sinclair’s Suitcase! I read it two years ago and its nostalgia still lingers. 🙂

Hi GippsGirl, that’s so lovely to hear, thank you! I’ve now written and indie published two further books; I am an editor for Jericho Writers (are we allowed to mention them on here;-) and I have founded a small, indie publisher, Louise Walters Books.

Well, yes, of course! I will be quietly looking for great novels and novellas!

It will be very special for a lot of us as well, sitting listening to you. Of course you’ll be nervous but you’re with friends (just don’t be distracted if we are passing the tissues round to stem the emotions like proud parents!). My first FoW was 2015 and it’s only now that I feel my novel is anywhere near the finishing line!
So looking forward…[Read more] -

Well, here it is. I’ve woken up a bundle of nerves this morning. I’ve not finished packing and I’ve still to get the kids out of the door to school before catching a train to York in less than two hours. In celebration of today’s 8th (and particularly special) journey to York, I’ve written brief history of all my trips to the York Festivals of…[Read more]

@whisks Glad to see you found your way here, Whisks. I was about to email you with the info. It’s beginning to feel warm and cosy again with so many Cloudies having a communal space again. x
