Wonderful @LouiseWriter
Ah and WONDERFUL it was. An alt history involving Marilyn Monroe, some 60's glamour, a tale of strength in adversity across time, another genre busting, thought provoking, spiritual novel from Louise. I endorse this message. Go get it! #books #reading #recommendation

Nine events/talks/signings since #LightsOut came out three weeks ago and I've loved every one. Last night I met a local book group for tea to talk about #HowToBeBrave. If I can get there, I'll ALWAYS join one no matter how large or small. Just ask. Same with festivals/workshops.

Life throws some hard curveballs, but itβs human to be afraid. Acknowledging your fear will help you be brave in the face of the unknown, and keep up your momentum by tackling one little thing a time.

Last night my sister Claire asked how I was feeling since #HowToBeBrave finished...
So many things.
So I created this to celebrate the journey from cheeky convo last year with the artistic director @ertheatre to standing ovation on my birthday at the final show last week...

The beautiful #HowToBeBrave original song was written and performed by @musicbyCarrieM. I commissioned her for the play, and it's absolutely perfect. You can hear it in the second act. If you love it as much as I do, you can buy it here: carriemartin1.bandcamp.com/tβ¦

So profound that #HowToBeBrave starts its run @ertheatre on #WorldDiabetesDay tonight.
Writing Grandad Colin's War Survival tale happened because I used it to help my small daughter face injections/blood tests.
Tonight, the lifeboat comes home.

For 3 weeks these actors have taken #HowToBeBrave across Yorkshire. Reactions have been profound. I watched them embody the characters, portray a life-affirming journey.
Tomorrow they bring the lifeboat home to the @ertheatre for 3 nights.

Another night on the #HowToBeBrave tour I'll never forget. It was in the village hall near where Grandad Colin is buried. His two children, three grandchildren and great grandchildren watched. Unforgettable.
See it at @SpotlightWestSt today at 2.30pm and @ertheatre next week.

#HowToBeBrave is an ABSOLUTE must-read and of course now a must-watch!
@LouiseWriter's debut is a beautiful, poignant novel celebrating the power of words, and what it really means to be brave AND Louise wrote this play so you just KNOW it is EVERYTHING!
5 Nov 2024
Lovely pic of Colin and Ken with second-half-sunburn and salted hair. What a journey; fifty days adrift, under searing heat, watching friends die. And it's a true story.
#HowToBeBrave is coming to @helmsleyarts @SpotlightWestSt & @ertheatre.
Check my website (in bio) for dates!
