My return to the stage, after 13 years…

September 22, 2015

Back in 2002, I spent several months on the road with a big professional production of The Borrowers. I was Assistant Stage Manager, and understudy for all three female roles – and I had a walk-on part at the end as long-lost Cousin Eggletina. It was exhausting: a different theatre every week, each with their own … More My return to the stage, after 13 years…

Apple and Rain – review

September 1, 2015

I’ve heard a lot about Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan. Well, no – that’s not strictly true. I’ve seen school librarians go ‘oh, yes, THAT book’ and get slightly misty-eyed. I’ve heard a fellow author say it’s the best book she’s read this past year and that it broke her heart. I’ve seen the … More Apple and Rain – review
