I've been shortlisted for the Bristol Short Story Prize. I’ve received a Northern Writers’ Award. For the Young Adult novel I’m working on,. About a town where strange things are happening to the teenagers. I'm delighted and very grateful to get the award, which helps in many ways. I'm looking forward to starting work as a Royal Literature Fund Fellow at York St John University in September, and to beginning another season working for First Story, this time at Dixons Trinity Academy.

Matthew Bates, my TV and Film agent. This is my blog, which I may even update now and then. This is where to go if you want to try a writing course. Equally suitable for those with no experience whatsoever, and those with some published work behind them. Highly recommended. The same as Arvon, only in a beautiful house in Wales. Claire is a fabulous photographer. She took the picture on the cover of TENDER. The best in contemporary writing. Well, some of it.

written in water: May We Be Forgiven
http://w-in-w.blogspot.com/2013/07/may-we-be-forgiven.html
Thursday, July 18, 2013. May We Be Forgiven. I nearly gave up. Over privileged Americans casually destroying people’s lives. No one seemed to have any genuine feelings for anyone. The characters felt sketchy, and they floated around in an affectless, druggy trance. Why should I care about any of them? Why should I be interested in their lives? Have him be kind to children, old people and animals, give him issues with his physical and mental health. How do you make him interesting? View my complete profile.

written in water: Something Wicked This Way Comes
http://w-in-w.blogspot.com/2014/05/something-wicked-this-way-comes_1.html
Thursday, May 01, 2014. Something Wicked This Way Comes. Why do I like this novel? So why is this novel impressive? Interesting comparison with Neil Gaiman. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is clever and unsettling and well-shaped, like most of his shorter books. It’s a very good read, but his evil is less evil than Bradbury’s, less cloying and claustrophobic, his world is a less scary place, and I think that's down to that passionate, surprising, yearning language.

written in water: An Unhappy Ending
http://w-in-w.blogspot.com/2013/12/an-unhappy-ending.html
Wednesday, December 04, 2013. But that’s fiction. Life’s not like that, it’s more ragged and various and unresolved. We talk about moving on after an Ending, we claim it’s an opportunity, we say As one door closes another opens. All of which suggests we’re turning our backs on the Ending, hurrying away from it as if it’s unwelcome, unlucky, toxic. That’s because an Ending, an Unhappy Ending anyway, leaves you disoriented – Did that just happen? How did that happen? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Friday, February 27, 2015. I liked Holly. From her running away in the first section to her dismal, scarily plausible, just this side of The Road. So, disappointing, slightly, from one of my favourite living novelists, but I did like Holly, and her story kept me interested and caring and wanting to know where we were going for nearly 600 pages. It’s a much inferior book, but it might make a better film than Cloud Atlas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Monday, April 13, 2015. Sipping tea. Everyone else has gone on a bike-ride, the roofers are hammering like someone knocking on a door, the view is unwinding into hazy distance, and it’s sunny at last. This comment has been removed by the author. Second attempt at a comment. Norfolk - thats the other place I could imagine living. Sorry about the dead nag - what can you do? As long as you enjoy it, keep flogging . Anyway, hope you and the family are well. More power to your elbows. View my complete profile.
