A brilliant day on the ICCW programme School of English today, when we welcomed the wonderful Amanda Smyth to give a masterclass, and the superb Paul Evans to speak at our guest seminar. Two outstanding writers from whom our students learnt so much. Thank you!

I’m going to tweet more about books because books are the best. First up, I’ve just finished Fortune by Amanda Smyth Lust, love, greed, oil, triumph and tragedy. Amazing historical detail and universal themes. I feel like I’ve been to Trinidad 100 years ago!

HOSPITAL UPDATE I’ve been here too long, since January 10th(my accident was on Boxing Day last year). My sanity, such as it is, has been severely tested. Unfortunately I’ve been unable to go mad. More than anything I’m desperate.

Great news for book-lovers and writers! A new award for books written by authors from the UK and Ireland.
