Out and About.
I’ve been out and about recently, and feeling a little guilty. I should be dwelling in my edits cave, but my forays into the fresh air have been writer-based. Promise.
On Friday 21st, I recorded an interview with my local radio station, Wessex FM, with snippets played the following Sunday during the news programmes.
The next day, I gave my first-ever live radio interview with Radio Solent’s Breakfast in Dorset DJ, Steve Harris. I was concerned I would clam up, but I needn’t have worried. I was made very welcome, and the chatter flowed.
Both interviews were centred on the surgery I’ve had to help manage my rheumatoid arthritis, and how this helped me achieve my dream of writing a novel and becoming a published author. I was keen to thank the Rheumatology and Orthopaedic teams at Dorset County Hospital for the care I’ve received, and continue to receive.
I also featured in the Dorset Echo and View From. It was a busy few days.
On Saturday 5th April 2014, I had a lovely time at Weymouth’s Sandworld, attending as a local author. This was in celebration of the opening of their theme for the season, Literally in Sand. Five authors with links to Weymouth enjoyed the wonderful hospitality and friendly atmosphere, chatting with people who’d come to view the amazing sand sculptures, and have a look at our books.
I spent a more than pleasurable evening 
preparing my new promo postcards for the occasion. #stationerylove.
There will be a fuller post on this on Wednesday at http://theromaniacgroup.wordpress.com/ but in the meantime, here’s a taster of the incredible sand art at Sandworld.
So, no more out for a while. I’ve returned to my edits cave. I’m working on my hero 😉
Have a great week, and take care.
