I’m going to the launch on 2nd April. Local bookshop will be there with a goodly supply.

But thanks Daeds, for an excellent interview.

I’ve just printed out Annie Neugerbauer’s worksheet to see if it helps me tackle the next round of wip edits. 🙂

Great interview, well done both @daedalus and @fiona. 🙂 Can’t wait to see the book in all its glory.

These look amazing, Kaz, what a great workshop it must have been. Thank-you so much for sharing. That might be my day’s reading sorted out!!

Oh Squidge, what a nightmare! I’d have been getting panicky too, being lost and in heavy traffic and with a deadline is a terrible combo. Hope the G&T therapy helped and today is devoid of traffic and Coventry. But all that aside, your visit itself sounds wonderful, so huge well dones for that. x

How incredibly generous of you to share your notes in this way, KazG. Thank you.

Just saw the news on the main wall. Congratulations, Stevie! Great to hear what the comps on here are producing.

COngrats @stevie – that’s great news, and how multitalented you are! You were super-quick off the mark to get your story in already – I’m impressed!!

Oh, well done, Stevie, and deservedly so!

Richard,
My late father would tell of a train crash in Diggle, then in Yorkshire, in 1923 or 1924. He was four and witnessed the accident whilst out walking with his granddad. He was interviewed by the local newspaper and is reported to have said “It were a grand smash” or similar. I see from google that four people died, so it probably wasn’t so…[Read more]

Really enjoy these tales of the rails, thank you.
