This is a lamp I made a long time ago, now owned by my lovely friend, Janine. The larger circles are cut pieces of stained glass, and the smaller circles and those hanging from the bottom are buttons.

lightshadeThis ceiling lightshade hangs in my hallway. I made it from pieces of stained glass, sand-washed glass picked up from the beach and shells, including mussel shells. The glass ball at the bottom is an old stopper from a decanter.

Paul’s light

This was a light I made a long time ago. White glass with wire figures over the top. This one is of an Elvis-type figure playing air guitar.

This autumn the Hunger and Thirst book tour continues: The Colour of Milk by Nell Leyshon is narrated by Mary who has the most original voice. voice. She’s 14, it’s rural England in 1831 and she has only just learned to read and write. She’s a milkmaid until her father sends her to the vicarage to help the vicar’s wife who is ill. Mary is fierce, she says her mind, and she is writing an account of what happened to her. There were no surprises for me, but I did really enjoy this. Short, bleak, sad. It’s not Lonesome Dove, it’s different, but it’s as good. Filled with longing and loneliness but never sentimental, The Last Picture Show by Larry McMurtry has gone straight onto my books of the year. I’ve had lots of new followers recently. Thanks! So I thought it might be time for a Meet the Author post.👋 I read 80+ books a year: novels (mostly), short stories, non-fiction, and memoir. And recently a few people have asked me how I find the time. The answer is simple really: I prioritise reading, like you might for anything you love doing. But if you want to increase how often you read, which is not about reading faster, but just spending more time doing it, here are some of the things I do that might help: In December I’m teaching on an @arvon__ residential creative writing course called, Fiction: Reaching the End. It at The Hurst in Shropshire and there are only a few spaces left so grab them while you can. The Radiant Dark by @ali.oliva is a family drama told with a backdrop of the human race’s first, and ongoing, communication with aliens. It starts in 1980 and I really enjoyed how Oliva puts us in an alternative reality and has considered all the things that would change if we’d had messages from aliens. Throw back Thursday to fifteen years ago when #librarianhusband moved in with me and we combined our books to make one library. We had lots of duplicates which we discarded one of, keeping only a few doubles, including The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion which had kind of brought us together. Eight brilliant novels featuring lonely women (no lonely goats here). I love novels about lonely women, happy or sad in their aloneness, weird or dislikeable, I want to pour them a cup of tea and ask them to tell me all about it.
