So pleased that The Safe Keep has finally been recognised with the award of the Women's prize for Fiction. Should have won the Booker too. Time for another airing of my review, tucked in amongst some other things I was reading at the time.

The brilliant Scarlett and Browne trilogy comes to an end, with an exciting adventure that’s thrilling and emotional in equal measure. Thanks. Jonathan Stroud- I’ll miss Scarlett and Albert. #writingcommunity #booksky

Great production of Alls Well that Ends Well at the Sam Wanamaker theatre. As ever, the candlelight is the star of the show
