So here we are, emerging blinking into the sunlight. Or, to be accurate, the raging gales and ice. Still, we’re learning to speak again and edge towards some sort of normality. God, how we’ve longed […]

God, don’t we long for spring? It’s been grim for everyone, hasn’t it? Those of us who’re alone, and those of us who’re struggling with children, and families, and those of us who’re fighting for […]

So here we are in week whatever of lockdown. I think we’ve all lost track, haven’t we? As I said in my last post, for a writer it’s weirdly the same as ever, except one […]

So here we are, in lockdown. I think it’s taken a while to sink in – the deeper the shock, the longer it takes to catch up with oneself. Of course it’s utterly catastrophic for […]

I’ve just got proof copies of my new novel The Carer– nice and early as it’s not published until July. I described it in my last posting – basically it’s a comedy about class, and death, […]

Much to my astonishment, ‘Tulip Fever’ is apparently coming to cinemas on 7 December. This whole twenty-year-old saga (see previous postings) might be coming to an end at last. It has been both bizarre and […]

Rather thrillingly – very thrillingly – I’ve been given an OBE (“for services to literature and drama”). It actually made the front page of our local paper here in Wales, the Powys County Times, underneath photographs of the […]
