A pleasure to chat with Author Karen Powell about her novel “Fifteen Wild Decembers” - a fictional reimagining of the life of Emily Brontë:
I had a great time chatting to Luke from the gorgeous @Sherlock_Pages. We had listeners from Arizona, Maryland, Canada, Germany, Netherlands and Denmark - turns out there are Bronte fans all over the world! youtube.com/watch?v=qhJEOcT3… #Bronte #Fiction

Last week I recorded a YouTube Live with lovely @lukejsherlock of the Frome-based bookshop, @Sherlock_Pages. It was a great conversation about where history and fiction meet, a writer's journey and how locations inspire. Listen in here. youtube.com/live/mzCC6w5KzM4

Have you read “Cecily” by Annie Garthwaite? If so I’ll be speaking with her live on YouTube at 8PM (UK time) A vivid work of historical fiction, “Cecily” refers to Cecily Neville, Duchess of York - one of the central figures of the Wars of the Roses: youtube.com/live/mzCC6w5KzM4…

Rather obviously(it must be said), you're in need of somebody to bring the punters in. Bernard Black is your man, give him a call.
