I did my first ever book reading this week at Headington Library, with two other writers and the publisher of Double – Decker More Tales from the John Radcliffe Bus.

Headington Library is a beautiful building and is in Bury Knowle park. You can read more about it here: Bury Knowle House

I was a little nervous before so I stood in front of this splendid lion wood carving in the park and thought about The Wizard of Oz and the cowardly lion who found his courage. Then I ate a cereal bar so my stomach didn’t rumble. Not all preparation is  deep and thoughtful!

The audience was a lovely attentive, receptive group and I really enjoyed chatting with some of them after.
