New Courses Coming Up

OK - so I promised the details of the new courses I have coming up  this year.

I'll start with  a one-off that's coming in April.

A while ago the Babe Magnet  went to  speak  about his book The Girl Who Lived on Air  at the Penfro Book Festival at Rhosygilwen in Pembrokeshire.  I went with him and as at breakfast I met the delightful Barbara Large who  is the Chairman of the Hampshire Writers' Society   I really enjoyed talking with her and as a result of our meeting, she invited me to  go and speak at an event for the Society.

When we talked about it, that date seemed a long time ahead - but now it's coming up fast  and so I am starting to look forward to it  happening in April,

So here are the details for that event - from the Hampshire Writer's Society Programme. 

Tuesday 12th April 2016

That week is going to be a busy one it seems because on the following weekend I'm teaching a Relax and Write course at Cirencester Royal Agricultural University.
