Holiday reading

Finished work at the uni for the year (hurrah!) so after spending the last month reading student treatments for short films I’m looking forward to catching up on some reading of my own. Here’s my shortlist of what to pack in my suitcase. Really hard to decide what to leave out!

  1. The Long Song by Andrea Levy
  2. The Smell of Apples by Mark Behr
  3. Revelation for Everyone by Tom Wright
  4. The Writer’s Journey by Christopher Vogler
  5. The Bible

Yes I know I could take them all if I had them on Kindle (the bible though is), but I bought the rest in my pre-Kindle days and don’t want them to go to waste. Clean underwear is optional but good literature is not.

Guest blogging about Crafty Publishing

This week I’ve been the guest blogger on the UK Christian Bookshop Blog. It’s the second time I’ve been let loose on this forum by the risk-taking editor, Phil Groom. Thanks to Phil and the last guest blog I did, my little publishing company, Crafty Publishing made some inroads into UK Christian bookshops with our Young David books. I’m also musing about the growing e-book market and how my first e-novel The Peace Garden is faring. You can read all about it over at UKCBB website.
