Peter Cooper & Louise Swingler read from Stations as part of their all singing all dancing event for Ilkley fringe. Thanks to Louise for overcoming the technical problem and getting them onto the site.
Arachne has authors scattered all over the globe, but there’s a little knot of them in Yorkshire. Of those, two wrote stories for the same Station for Stations. Out of this meagre fact came the wonder that was On the Write Track, a reading, singing, sliding razzmatazz of a show from Peter Cooper and Louise Swingler.
You can read all about it on Peter’s blog.
Hopefully we will have some pictures and video soon.
The advantage of working from home is that I can work wherever I’m comfortable that’s important in this weather. Move around the house, following the shade. Sit in the garden to cross check proofing on Weird Lies. Use unripe windfall apples as paperweights. practice reading for Leeds Book Fair in the privacy of any room in the house. Not that private… the windows are all open. Sleep when I need to… get up at 5am to get to Leeds. Yes. It definitely has something going for it.
