On Wednesday, I appear to have allowed myself to be roped into chairing the Nithsdale Creative Arts Hustings in Dumfries. This is a chance for anyone interested in the arts in the area to ask their local politicians how they will support the arts.

The event starts at 7pm at the Brigend Theatre in Dumfries. Any suggestions for questions gratefully received!

On Monday 23rd April I will be in Stranraer library to help celebrate World Book Night with a free party!

I’ll be introducing my book – Out of a Clear Sky – with a short reading and also explaining which is my favourite of the chosen World Book Night books. There will be book giveaways and refreshments – so I hope to see you there. The event runs from 10:30 til 12.
