I’ve got a stack of my favourite coming of age stories. I’ll be posting about them on here in a few days, but if you want to get an early look then subscribe to my newsletter. Just comment, subscribe, and I’ll send you a link to your DM. A fantastic event @turner_sims last night talking about music and writing, and Hunger and Thirst. It’s the most beautiful venue. We were treated to @henryaylingguitarist playing the piano music that he wrote for the audio book (the video is him practicing on the concert hall’s Steinway before the event), as well as two guitar & voice pieces. Thanks to the brilliant @writercaroleburns for the questions and to everyone who came. (And thanks @ali_shaw1 for the pictures.) 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.
