My Phoenix Book Club Experience

I had the privilege of being on the Book Club at Phoenix 98FM last week, I was invited by Sylvia Kent, a prolific author who's been writing for a long time, she was also on the show with me talking about her latest book 'Brentwood in 50 Buildings.'  The host of the show was Michelle Ward and it was part of her Eat My Brunch weekday show.

You can hear the recorded radio interview here.

Earlier, on 19th September 2019 Tom King, Roy Davis, Geraldine Evans and myself were on with Ros on Gateway 97.8 from 16:00 pm.  If you wanted to hear our lively show you have to go back to that time and date on Gateway 97.8fm's Listen Again page.

Tom is a journalist and former chief feature writer for the Echo and still writes for them on a freelance basis.  He has a new joke book out this year too.  Geraldine Evan's family ran The Barge, Vange for seventy years and she helped raise a lot of money for charities through events held at the pub.
Roy was a former security guard for Yardleys and is an avid professional photographer, particularly of the Basildon area.

I was also on with Tony Stratton and Jeremy Sutton on Basildon Hospital Radio (BHR1287) in late August.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

I've got lots of news to shout about. 1. Just one day to my talk at Keene Hall, Watchouse Road, Galleywood. The talk will commence at 8.00pm, please arrive about 7:45 if you plan to go. Fun fact! I was actually born seventeen years to the day after Basildon New Town came into existence. Basildon New Town was born on (so to speak) 4 January 1949 and I was born on 4 January 1966. Don't you think that is odd?! A bit spooky! 2. A lot is happening behind the scenes towards Basildon Writers' Group's second anthology. Very exciting!
