This week, I’m sharing with you an exciting new venture. I’ve been asked to give a talk at the Loveahappyending ‘Summer Audience’ taking place in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, on Saturday 16th June.
Now, I’m not an experienced speaker - but I certainly do have a tale to tell - as my experiences of becoming an author by the traditional route and more recently as an indie, are rather unusual and sometimes rather amusing! I was a little hesitant at first but our middle son, who lives in Edinburgh and struts past the likes of Neil Gaiman and Ian Rankin et al in the streets at Writer’s Festival time, insisted that I give it a shot. He said, “mum, you really should be out there giggin’”.
So I’m going to try and I’d love you to consider coming along. The ‘Summer Audience’ is aimed at all readers and anyone who aspires to write and the programme is now available. You can check it out by clicking the link below.
Tickets are now available too at the fantastic price of £25 per person, which includes a whole day of informal talks by various authors in different writing genres, a light lunch, a keynote speaker, and several short but informative workshops. Plus, of course, the aforementioned riveting and hopefully amusing talk by Yours Truly, which is enticingly entitled ‘From Zero to my Latest Hero…’.
It’s not to be missed - so don’t wait until the tickets are all sold out – get yours now!

I will be glued to my seat and listening intently to pick up all the tips I can! Anyone who can launch Chef McDuff in such a blaze of glory is well worth listening to! See you there - PS already have my ticket....
You'll be fine! Wish I could be there.
This is going to be such a fun day and am sure your talk will be amusing and inspiring. Roll on June!

Hi Janice, this sounds like a great day (and good value for money too)-I'll see if I can make it closer to the time. Tetbury is one of my favourite places and inspired the setting for my book 2.
I'll be gigging alongside you. wouldn't miss it for the world.
Sounds awesome! Hope you enjoy yourself and I'm sure you'll do well.
You'll be fine, Janice. I'm sure you can gig with the best of them. Sorry I can't be there to hear you.
Sounds great fun, Janice, and you'll rock! Wish I could be there but I doubt I'll manage.

Thanks for the support and encouragement! I'm really looking forward to it and to meeting up with everyone who can be there in beautiful Tetbury.
