Big excitement at my end about the WORD Christchurch Book Festival in August. I’m appearing with two of my absolute all time favourite writers. I’ll be part of a delicious morning tea event with legendary US food writer Ruth Reichl and then in conversation with Diane Setterfield author of a wonderful novel called The Thirteenth Tale (if you haven’t read it yet then you have a treat in store). There are loads more amazing writers taking part so come along if you’re in town. The festival runs from August 27 to 31 and you can find out more about it here
