A lot of visitors to this site will know that I wrote a book called The Last Broomsquire - which I am happy to say continues to be popular, especially now that I have been through the original script and carried out a rather far reaching edit - knocking out a total of 9,600 words from the book.

If I’m honest, it needed a bit of a chisel taking to it because there were some overly wordy sections. Now it’s tighter and brighter - and better - in my humble opinion.

Anyway, the organisers of the excellent online Shute Festival like the book enough to have invited me to give a talk all about it - which I shall be doing next week - please follow the link here if you’d like to register to be in the audience or the next link to know more about the actual festival and its speakers.
