Events
Since the launch of Knife Skills For Beginners I’ve travelled from Cornwall to Scotland, meeting readers, signing books and appearing at literary festivals (see picture gallery at the bottom of this page). The highlight of 2024 was being shortlisted for the McDermid Debut Award at the world’s biggest and most prestigious crime writing festival, held in July at Harrogate.
I'm also a seasoned cookery demonstrator, and ambassador for the Dartmouth Food Festival and Exeter Novel Prize.
If you have an event or book club and would like to invite me along, either in person or virtually, don’t be shy – I would consider it an honour. I’ve prepared some ideas and resources for book clubs which you’ll find here for ideas and resources (spoiler alert).
