I look forward to chairing the jury for the Nero Book Awards, the Nero Gold Prize, deciding on the overall winner out of 4 category winners chosen by 4 separate juries. The rest of this final jury yet tba. Watch this space! theguardian.com/books/2024/jan…
Finally saw Cirque du Soleil du Soleil last week Royal Albert Hall for the first time. Unbelievable feats, comedy & beauty. On until March. Thx TheGuestlistLDN
To any writer in need of encouragement, it took 10 years, 2 unpublished novels and leaving an agent before my debut novel was published. This month it’s Waterstones Welsh Book of the Month and Booksellers Association Indie Book of the Month. Keep going. You will get there ♥️

Such terribly sad news. RIP Benjamin Zephaniah, trailblaizing poet, force of nature and colleague Brunel University London, which we both joined in 2011. I first saw him perform at the Albany Empire, as it was then called, in 1982. amp.theguardian.com/books/2023/dec…
