Writer Helen joins me for a special Jackanory
|
Here we are! Helen Shay will be sharing
reading duties with me at the Press Day |
I’ll be reading from my book 20 Stories High at the special Jackanory session to celebrate small press publishers.
Normally what I do at these events is select a 2,000-word story (that’s about 15 minutes) to read solo. But this time the organisers have given me a bit longer.
So I’ll be joining with fellow writer Helen Shay to read one of my longer stories – I’m doing the male parts and she’s reading the female ones.
Title is The Woman Sitting Opposite and it’s about an amoral young poetry lecturer who cheats on his wife with an older woman – then finds out he’s bought himself a lot of trouble. And he gets his comeuppance in an intriguing way!
Helen and I will be reading the story with our customary gusto -- then I'll be selling copies of the book, published by Armley Press, to the usual horde of appreciative listeners.
That’s Jackanory Small Press Day, Saturday 24 August, 2pm at Westgate Studios, 55 Westgate, Wakefield WF1 1BW. And it’s free! Hope to see you there.
