The Radion Project Launch

I have just updated the blog on my author website and have realised that I keep choosing the same dress when I'm metaphorically wearing my author hat https://lisajanehorner.wixsite.com/lisahornerauthor/blog. Note to self, wear a different dress next time!

It was the Radion launch today, particularly for the lenticular screen, very recently the audio tour had been added which you access by scanning a QR code. More info can be found at https://radionproject.com/.

When he had done it for forty days he made the national newspapers when he was ...

Ken Porter's New Book

Sylvia Kent has written an article about a gentleman who has been very helpful to me when I was researching both of my books, Ken Porter. In particular Basildon Through Time . I virtually became researcher in residence on a Monday and Wednesday at the Green Centre at Wat Tyler Country Park in 2014. He is by far the leading expert on Laindon and Langdon Hills history at present. You can see Sylvia's article here .
