I try to update this when I can. However, you can always follow me on Facebook or Twitter for bang up-to-date news!
30th September HotFest, Hotwells, Bristol (I am at the Eldon House pub at 4pm and Holy Trinity Church at 5.30pm)
5th October Weston LitFest (I will be popping up on the street somewhere in the centre of Weston-super-Mare, doing poetry at random passers-by)
More coming up, which I will announce nearer the time….but I can always appear at more! So if you have a vacant slot that needs filling, please do get in touch.
