I was invited to take part in the 'Brew and Blether' events in liraries all over the region. On Friday 14 June I gave a reading from my novel In Desolate Corners, Shadows Crouch alongside Jayne Baldwin, who was reading and talking about her new non-fiction book about the last public hanging in Scotland, of Mary Timney, and Patricia Comb whose e-book Cafe Paradise has recently been published on Kindle. Jayne's book is not published yet but she hopes to have it out by Septemeber, just in time for the Wigtown Book Festival.
A lively group of people turned up at the library for free tea, coffee and home-made cake and the conversation about our books, publishing, local history and the debate about e-books as opposed to paper books was intelligent and rewarding to be part of. Many thanks to the Library Service for the invite and to all the people who turned up and got involved. It's events like these that get writers through the hard times.
