Goldenford
Writers have been travelling recently
Jay Margrave
went to the American Historical Novel Society's Conference
in Chicago in June and then on to Boston to give a presentation
to a readers' group who had chosen The Gawain Quest as one
of their books to read. They liked it so much they wanted
to 'meet the author'.
Irene Black
and Jacquelynn Luben took part in the twinning celebrations
of Guildford and Freiburg at the same time, in Freiburg,
Irene reading from her novels from a covered stage to audiences
listening in pouring rain or sweltering heat. Jacquelynn,
who had been invited by the German British Society to read
in the Schwanhäuser Bookshop, did not have to worry about
the changeable weather.
As
you can see from the picture,Goldenford had great success
at the June 2008 Freiburg Twinning Festival as shown by
the repeat invitation for 2009!
Goldenford
author Irene Black was shortlisted in the Bristol
Prize for her short story, The Loi Krathong, which
is included in the award anthology.
