I’m loving being Falmouth University’s Writer in Residence. What a wonderful place to be a student. I’m doing a free public lecture on Monday 11th May from 18.30 – 20.30. Please come along but do book your free ticket in advance.

I’m very pleased to say that I am Falmouth University’s Writer in Residence. I will be joining their School of Writing and Journalism from Monday 27th April until Tuesday 12th May.

Here’s a video I made. It’s a slightly tragic insight into the life of a self-absorbed writer.
