I'm the subject of the big interview for the UK's publishing magazine BookBrunch. It ranges far and wide across my life in books, from being a terrible secretary to publishing Tolkien & GRRM, living in Morocco, and writing SECRETS OF THE BEES.

In an open letter, Walker Books 'is concerned to see the latest developments in Weymouth, particularly given the extreme reality of book banning in the US. We must ask ourselves is this the beginning of something, and what comes next?'

Here is @bookwormvaught.bsky.social's piece on overcoming narratives which I quoted in a longer version of my essay re. the important case Anna makes that this is 'not merely a literary issue, but a political one ... reinforcing the notion that personal responsibility can solve systemic problems'.
Hero's journey or would you rather an 'overcoming' trope?

NEWS. A thread on picking yourself up when it goes wrong. The past 6 weeks: 2 books went out of print as a publisher went under & didn’t inform writers, my agent left agenting -hard because they’d previously been made redundant so I lost the same agent x2 in less than a year - & chasing royalties.
