SO I need help with two things! 1) Stage time, either new material slots or full 1hr WIP shows for my show The Britpop Hour May-July 2) Book events in libraries or bookshops for my new book MISTLETOE & VINYL Nov-Dec. Please drop me a line if you can help!

One reason I had the impetus to develop The Otter Bookshelf was my shameful lack of reading Terry Pratchett ๐Ÿ–ค ๐Ÿค's work. This great guide by Marc Burrows is just what I needed. Grateful for itโ€”and excited to see Marc at The Y Theatre in September! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿฆฆโœจ theguardian.com/books/2025/aprโ€ฆ

Apologies to Marc Burrows for our *very* overdue acknowledgement of this gift. Marc's book is the handy day-by-day guide you'll reach for when you're offline. Heck, some of the footnotes are an essay in themselves! Get it whenever you buy your books!

Here's Terry Pratchett mastering the urban fantasy/hidden London genre in less than 500 words when he was just 17, in February 1966. "The idea of people rushing round deep under the earth is dark and mysterious, and the monks want to make sure people remember that".
