I’m very excited to be part of the first ever Ampthill Literary Festival, which happens on July 5th and 6th in that lovely Georgian town in Bedfordshire. Many thanks to local novelist and blogger Rachel J Lewis for inviting me. There will be poetry workshops – details to follow shortly – and an extremely good vibe, including the parallel festival of AmpRocks with rumours of a fab headline act, as always!

This is going to be an excellent summer weekend. Hope to see some of you there for poetry readings and workshops. Now, what rhymes with Ampthill? It’s an interesting place and deserves an Ode of its own.
