In the next few weeks I’ll be chatting with novelist Jane Davis and crime writer Adrian Magson. I shall then be interviewing crime novelist Sally Spedding at the Winchester Writers’ Conference early July, and hopefully anyone else that I can catch a few minutes with.
I do have interview slots available thereafter so if you write (published or otherwise) and think you’d make an interesting subject, do email me. I don’t pay or charge.
You can also read an interview with me at Who Hub – if you interview authors and think I’d make a suitable interviewee, then do contact me.
