THE HYTHE FOOD & DRINK FESTIVAL LAST WEEKEND
We had a great authors area this year with some coming on different days so we had a great selection of authors and books. Debby Jones organised our area where she also launched her book Dan Hawk Psychic Detective which is available on Amazon here. Well done everyone, a super five days and a few books sold so all our authors are smiling. The variety of stalls this year was amazing, everything from cheese to material! It definitely made for a great day out. Then you had the choice of what food to eat while watching the many varied acts…

WEDNESDAY UNTIL SUNDAY FROM THE 26th JULY This is one of my favourite food festivals that is local to myself, it’s also nice to catch up with friends there and experience all the new stalls.

I did my monthly chat on Acadamy FM with Kay last week, I am amazed that we managed to get through it as watching Kay getting the earphones on and off over the hat, reindeer antlers and glasses was a mission and so funny. We had a Christmas event also last week which was great, I did a game of Blankety Blank and the words some of these authors came up with, well I could not print lol. A great time was had by all and we are all looking forward to next year with more events planned. I would…

MICHÉL FABER I was very lucky to have Michél come and give a talk to my writing group, what a fantastic evening we had. Going through his life, writing and living in different countries kept us all enthralled the whole evening, finishing off with a super Q n A session. I felt ashamed to say I had not read his book The Crimson Petal and the White but I have ordered it and the film so I am looking forward to reading the book first. His latest book D sounds really good and will please many children to receive that in their…

WRITE BY THE SEA The writing group that I run here in Folkestone is doing so well, we have such a great group of people that all share their knowledge. We have a group meeting once a month on a Thursday evening where we have a chat about any book news that I have, we then discuss the exercise that we have completed which involves some sharing their work, or asking questions. I like to keep it very informal so as not to put people off from sharing. If any members want to ask questions or share some of their…

INDEPENDENTLY PUBLISHED ON 6th SEPTEMBER 2021 Hannah gave me this book to read last week at Hythe Live, I knew she had written her second book so I was excited to read where she had gone with this one. Her last book Number 47 was brilliant with great reviews. As I sat down for lunch last Saturday I started reading, I was engrossed, it kept you so hooked from the first pages I had so many questions going round in my head. I knew deep down there could not be a thing in the woods so what was it? My…

WRITE BY THE SEA This writing group has gone from strength to strength during the pandemic, in fact, we all managed to produce an anthology called Ghosts By The Sea. These stories are all set in iconic places around the town, there is even a map that you can follow to read the stories at each place. We all corresponded by email and WhatsApp, self-publishing last year. It is free on Kindle and available to purchase the book here on Amazon. A collection of ghost stories set against the background of Folkestone on the Kent coast written by a group…
