Vocal Voices

It was fab! She talked for about an hour - a kind of Q&A format with a host, and then it was thrown open for questions It was very interesting........

Loz she talked a little about Richard III as someone in the audience asked her views on where he should be buried - she was all for York, as is was the only city that really remained faithful to him.

There was a book signing afterwards in the Waterstone's tent - the Festival was set up in marquees on Montpelier Gardens - and as I'd taken my copy of The White Princess along I got it signed! She was very nice - I told her I agreed about Richard and York and she smiled and said yes but that she thought Leicester would get him, unfortunately

Oh then as a Sunday Times subscription holder there was a tent offering freebie tea and coffee, so I went for one and somehow ended up at a tiny Q&A session with Kevin Maher, the ST film critic who has just written a book apparently! I had no idea who he was or what the book was called so kept very quiet - I'd only sat there to drink me cuppa!

It all sounds like a lovely visit Kaz
Glad you got your book signed, it must've been a weight to lug around!

Now you can drop into conversation 'Well, as Philippa Gregory said to me...'
And even 'Well, as Kevin Maher said the other day...'

Yeah I can drop names all over the place

It was flipping heavy, and I had to dig out my big suede handbag to fit it in It was worth it though

Glad you had a good time

Not heard of the other bloke though and I read a lot

Glad you had a good time and got your book signed kaz

Thanks both

Ton I only knew his name vaguely as the film critic, not an author

I have no idea who Philippa Gregory or Kevin Maher are, but I do know that York cannot be a 'who'; it has to be a 'which' or a 'that', depending on where you live - it's a city not a person.

Glad you enjoyed the day, though.

Sorry Mr Pedantic

Glad you had a great time and that you got your book signed

Cheers Jo
