Thu 1st October 2026

So much happened last month, so I'll summarise it here. Patrick Forsyth was my Featured Author, I had a story published in Pop Publishing's Rock Tales, I'm resurrecting Writer's Block radio show with Colchester's Activ8, continuing my role as Journal Editor with Society of Women Writers and Journalists, added Season 17 to The Versatile Writer on Substack, worked on 3 separate novels and I'm working with a local artist for the cover of the upcoming A Parting Gift. And that's not all... the long-awaited 'WriteFest - the festival for writers' is happening on Saturday 7 November in Colchester's Dragonfly Lounge. More details via my site loveofbooks.co.uk - oh and my website has had an overhaul to celebrate its 15th anniversary! 😊 Go check it out. Until next month, sjb 😊
