Had a fabulous time reading with @Sue_writer at the Colony Room Green last night! In an emerald room like a jungle cave! So I wore green and read new poems from Beast & excerpts from My Hummingbird Father. Was a treat to chat to @JonCurzon, Suzi Feay, @alice_hiller & more

It’s 3 months since My Hummingbird Father was published! It’s been quite a 70th year. I’m so grateful to everyone who made it happen, to Salt who took a chance on the novel, to festivals & event organisers who helped the book find readers & to reviewers who wrote kind words
It’s my birthday in a few days, I’ll be 71! Don’t forget ratings & reviews on Amazon or Goodreads really help books sell and are very appreciated by authors 💕 need only be one sentence
