At last! I can hardly believe that we can finally go ahead with the 2021 Deepings Literary Festival – albeit a year late in 2022. As many of you know, I live in a cluster of Deepings in South Lincolnshire that includes Deeping St Nicholas, Deeping St James, Market Deeping, Deeping Gate and Deeping St […]
Today should have been one of the Deepings Literary Festival’s interim year events with a super read dating at the Deepings Community Library. I was really looking forward to running the event with a team of lovely Deepings volunteers. Sadly, if unsurprisingly, Corvid 19 has put a stop to today’s excitement. However, we are hoping […]
I love attending literary events, but I’m always so frustrated that they seem to be so far from where I live in south Lincolnshire. However, the Deepings are setting out to change all that and we intend to rival the big cities and literary festivals as we set out to rule the world! Two years […]
I have just had a brilliant couple of days. I live in a small village, Deeping St James, attached to a small market town, Market Deeping, with the villages of Deeping Gate, West Deeping and Deeping St Nicholas all close by.

I’m absolutely thrilled that The Deepings villages where I live in south Lincolnshire are about to host their first ever literary festival at the end of April 2017. Under the leadership of local Councillor Judy Stevens there’s an exciting programme about to take place. Full details and booking can be found here, but I thought […]
Many of you know that I’m involved with my local Deepings Literary Festival (save the dates 28th April to 1st May 2022!), but in the mean time, I’m delighted to bring you details of another fabulous online festival starting today, 17th November 2021, from the Cambridge Literary Festival. Beginning with Dame Gillian Beer at 6.30 […]
Although I was heavily involved in many of the events at the recent Deepings Literary Festival, one that I couldn’t attend was a free ‘read dating’ held in the library on the Saturday afternoon. We were trying to showcase local authors, and luckily for us, best-selling author, Jane E James agreed to participate in this […]
Although I’ve been really busy with the Deepings Literary Festival recently, I have had time to catch a few glimpses of a wonderful new literary Tube map of London underground from In the Book. It so intrigued me I had to find out a bit more so I asked Tom Matthews from In The Book […]
I’m a huge fan of John Marrs – both as a man and an author – so I couldn’t be more delighted than to participate in this blog tour for his latest book, Keep It In The Family. My huge thanks to Zara Gillick and Rhiannon Morris for inviting me to participate in the blog […]
