Fishbourne Literary Festival Saturday 5th April 2025

As Patron of the Fishbourne Literary Festival, I am so sorry to be missing next year’s event. It is always such a joyous and inspiring day, meeting a range of authors in the beautiful setting of Fishbourne Church, and coming home with armfuls of books from the second-hand booksale in the church hall. The reason for my absence is that 2025 marks the twentieth anniversary of thepublication of my first historical novel, Labyrinth and I’ll be on the road. For more details click here “other events”
