Carrie Cohen is reprising her readings of The Old Woman From Friuli & BRAT at
Deptford Lounge, 5 Giffin Street, SE8 4RQ on 1st July at 11am
For younger readers (5-9, and up to 90 really) Bad tempered dukes, clever counsellors, and really stuborn old women.
For young adults (11-16 plus) outlaws, missing fathers and beggar children in a fantasy novel which is the first of a trilogy.
Following on from our Ealing outing we reprised the show at Deptford Lounge, with a slightly different line up. I still managed to not stand in front of the camera. Hey-ho.

Katy delighted audiences at both The Stations Launch at the Brunel Museum and at Deptford Lounge, this video snippet is from Deptford, as the video for the launch is technically speaking not very good! This is what you missed, if you weren’t there.
You will be able to compare Katy’s performance with another tonight, as Katy is double booked, and Gloria Sanders is going to read for her at Brick Lane Bookshop, 7pm. (nearest Overground Shoreditch High Street)
A well organised publisher on her way to a reading also takes:
Lots of nice pens for the authors to sign the books with
and the book stands.
and carrier bags to make it possible for people to buy and carry away four copies at a time…
A small hint to join us at Deptford Lounge tonight at 7pm for the Stations whistle-stop tour of the Overground. eight stories (extracts!!) in 90 minutes. It is officially publication date today!
Big thank you to the huge crowd who turned out at Canvas & Cream last night and bought all the copies of Stations I had with me. Taking a larger stock tonight, which means A. has to act as sherpa too.
And finally! A reminder that the Launch is at the Brunel Museum this Sunday at 12.30.
Book your FREE ticket for the local launch of Stations. 29th November, Deptford Lounge Giffin Street SE8 (Please note, booking online seems to be a bit tiresome. Strongly recommend use of the phone! 020 8692 4446)
An evening of short sharp bursts of fiction.
Loads of local authors – lots of excerpts from local stories.
Think of it as a metaphorical 100 metre relay as we sprint down the Overground line dropping in on Stations as we go.
And the Prize? You get to buy a copy of the book, and we get to meet you – what more could we ask?
This event is free but you DO need to book!

Join us for a whirlwind tour of the Overground by way of a foreign student’s first taste of South London, a brief encounter at Brockley, homelessness and homebaking, a lesson the birds and bees, transience by the Thames, failing to learn from beetles and film makers in East London.
