[image error] Well, I've survived another wonderful Writers' Week festival in my lovely home town of Listowel in County Kerry! It was more hectic than usual this year, thanks to a full programme of events that the committee had lined up for me - I visited schools in Ballyduff, Ballylongford, Lixnaw and Listowel town itself, and was warmly welcomed everywhere I went. I also told stories in Listowel library and on the pavement outside Super Valu (interesting!), and I gave a creative writing workshop to a lovely bunch of 9 to 14 year olds in the Listowel Arms Hotel. The festival was full of the usual readings and book launches and plays and music events...top marks to the organisers, all unpaid volunteers, who make the magic happen each year. Roll on Writers' Week 2013 - I've already booked my B&B!
