Hello. Welcome to my website.
On April 21st lovers of good writing joined me at the Elizabeth Taylor Day in Battle Library, Reading, to celebrate the birth centenary of the writer Elizabeth Taylor who was born in 1912, not far from Battle Library where she first learned to love books. (“My second home was Reading Public Library.”) The speakers included the excellent, indefatigable book blogger Lynne Hatwell Dovegreyreader.
The event was a sell-out. Those who came knowing little or nothing about Taylor went away vowing to read more of her books and short stories. Those, like me, who already knew and loved her books, gained new insights. A great day was had by all.
On Sunday 6th May I was on the BBC 1 television programme Songs of Praise talking about my work and the book I’m currently writing.
From Friday 31st August to Sunday 2nd September I will be at the first St Clementin bi-lingual Literary Festival in France.
The paperback of my latest book, French Secrets, is now on sale in bookshops and available online. I am very cheered to see that it has pleased at least one avid reader! Shaz\'s Book Blogger When I dreamed up the plot, I didn’t know that it would find an echo in real life.
