I had a fantastic evening at Stage to Page last night. Many thanks to the actors and Cat MacLeod (director) for bringing my piece to life. The feedback from the audience was valuable and I now have a few ideas for developing this into a full-length play.

Had a great morning at Angus Book Fest on Saturday 18th November. I enjoyed catching up with Margaret Bowman (member of Fife Writes scriptwriting support group). Also great to meet up with fellow City Writers members: Wendy H Jones, Sheena Macleod and Eileen Rolland (not pictured).
