Meet the Author

Went to see John Harvey giving a talk at the local library. He has written 100 books and is now starting another degree (he was born in 1938 but even so - I had better get myself in gear!). Authors need to get out to sell their books, even John who is successful but can all authors deal with standing up in front of a room full of people and successfully entertaining them for an hour? Well, John Harvey is certainly good at it. He read from his poetry, a previous book for young adults and of course his latest book Far Cry. He talked about his writing career, inspiration and writing friends in a very engaging and open way. A very enjoyable evening.
