Famous author loves my book!
AN Wilson has done a review of my book, The Huntingfield Paintress, in the Catholic Herald. http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/issue...
It's what you might call ...incredibly positive!
How did he come to read my book? I recognised AN Wilson one day last summer when I was cycling to work across the Regent's Park. There was the writer, columnist and critic who I'd seen on the telly talking so engagingly about Betjeman and Larkin's poetry and lives. Jumping off my bike, I confronted him; would he please read my manuscript if I ever found a publisher? Kind man that he is and despite being incredibly busy, he agreed. Luckily The Huntingfield Paintress found favour with him once published.
It is an unexpected experience to have a famous writer enjoy one's work, as you might imagine
