Really pleased to be part of Solstice Shorts Festival in Greenwich for the third time on the evening of 21 December. I’m meeting and greeting for the poetry session on the theme of the Shortest Day at Made in Greenwich, and later hearing my story’ In the Gloaming’ being read at West Greenwich Library.

I have described poor Lucia, struggling with an eagle in poor light with her failing sight. If you can't come and hear her story, read it in the book out the same day. Shortest Day, Longest Night has lots of terrific stories and poetry pulled together by Cherry Potts at Arachne Press. My Longest Night story from last year is ‘Mouse’.
