Not only do I
wish you a Happy New Year but one that is equally rewarding and fulfilling. I’ve
already begun 2016 as I mean to go on – writing features, exploring new markets
and revelling in inspiration. Meanwhile, here’s a quick summary of my articles
that hit the presses towards the end of last year.
Country Life: Parchment
for Parliament; Landscape: Vicki Brand Upcycling; Buckinghamshire Life: Festive
Dining Décor, Pantomime Round Up and 2015 Quiz; Hampshire Life: Romsey Art
Group artist profile; Vale Life: Jane Miller; Thame Out: Wordplay column.
This month Tony
Clegg is my Hampshire Life artist profile whilst for Buckinghamshire Life I
talk to a number of charities in order to encourage everyone to take up volunteering.
February
articles have already been submitted and next month’s Ashmolean exhibitions are
in the diary. But for now I have half a dozen interviews lined up over the next
few days in between which I will also be preparing my Chiltern Writers’ talk about
Writing for Magazines.
Finally, whilst
colleague and children’s author Nick Halliday is touring various continents for
a few months I have taken on distribution of his fabulously successful The
Lonely Tree.
Hmm, quite a busy
start to the year. Must crack on . . .
