Ayup fellas ‘n’ fellettes, hope you’re all well? I’m currently feeling the stress big time!

Ayup me ducks,
March has been very kind to yours truly. I did a feature slot at the awesome ‘Howl’ in Moseley, Birmingham & also did a feature set at The Hand-Job-Zine Anthology launch. There’s a review of the event below by the one & only Leftlion of Nottingham which is rather complimentary yours truly, give it a gander:

A-up mi ducks,
It’s been a very busy time: I’ve countless readings/performances coming up so head over to the live/readings page to find out when and where!
I’ve also secured a position as the shadow-writer-in-residence for the Writing East Midlands:Write here-Sanctuary Project. This is a project aiming to support refugees and Asylum seekers in the facilitation of their own stories written in English. I’m ultra-mega-proper happy to be involved in such a wonderful venture and I’m looking forward to doing my bit to make refugees welcome here in Derby!
I also have some other amazing news but I’m not allowed to tell you that yet….
In the meantime check this, buy tickets and come!
