It was a great privilege to give a talk about the Theatre Royal and Walter Scott’s dramas at the Story-Telling Centre as part of the Scottish Theatre History weekend, and to chat about it and about my book with Donald Smith afterwards.

Here's a link to my talk on youtube: https://youtu.be/xSchu1-2plA?si=j7sBX5MgesVO7hG9

It's always a treat to talk to people who've read my book - this was a bit special, though, as these folk were in Alaska and elsewhere in the States, as well as Glasgow and Linlithgow. The joys of Zoom!

Flora Johnston and Helen Graham: Family stories in Historical Fiction with Susan Elsley

This was such a lovely evening, and Susan Elsley was a great chair person, with really thoughtful, interesting questions. One of the highlights was this beautiful sketch made by Flora's talented brother, Sandy Mor...

Had a wonderful evening in the gorgeous Stow Station House, hosted by Gordon from the Wedale Bookshop - lots of fun and lively questions from a great wee audience - and I was really inspired to get on and write the sequel, too!
