When Jennifer Worth's first book 'Call the Midwife' was published I was lucky enough to go to her house in North London to interview her about her life's work. I met a person who had a vibrant personality with a huge amount of eccentricity!

Did a catchup interview with Charley Boorman recently re his tv shows and live theatre shows - Charley as ever was very gracious in his attitude to all around him, including me; the interview is now being edited and his latest tv show Extreme Frontiers will be shown on Channel 5 at 9pm from December 1st; but you can catch him before at a theatre near you - here is a link to his tour dates - the show is very funny with lots of anecdotes;

There has been much talk about when the new Amazon Kindle was going to be relased in this country and how much it was going to be - approx £50 in the States and £89 here in Britain.
It will be interesting to see how it goes and will the public be happy with being charged more!

The Hilary Mantel interview/documentary on BBC2 just a few days ago was brilliant. I was lucky enough to interview Hilary face to face at the 2010 London Book Fair - she is a fascinating person to say the least.

I was really pleased to see that Richard and Judy have chosen Michelle Paver's ghost story Dark Matter. I had the pleasure of interviewing her about it last year. It is most defintiely a book that stays with you for a very long time!

Children's author Angela McAllister will be taking part in the Portsmouth Literature Quiz in March 2012, and as she doesn't have her own website the organisers are going to be using the interview we did with Angela earlier this year.
We are thrilled to be a part of this quiz as Angela's book 'The Double Life of Cora Parry' set in Victorian times is brilliant.
