“It’s difficult to classify myself solely as a writer of romance, when in fact writing about women’s lives, and the complexities that has gone into making her that woman, entails a great deal more than romance.”

Author questions, author signing at the Windrush Front Room event.
I met Wolter Dammers, who apparently has lived a life loving two women, like my character, Ben in my novel Swimming With Fishes 😂😂😂
@wolterdammers has so many stories to tell, to share - he was very entertaining.

Sally Hemings An American Scandal
I spent Sunday afternoon at Playground Theatre watching @therealtinaandrews Sally Hemings An American Scandal - about Thomas Jefferson (America’s third President) and his love affair and relationship with Sally Hemings, his slave.
My question . . . Could you really call it a relationship, a love affair between an elderly slave master and his much younger enslaved?
This was followed by a question & answer session, conducted by actress & author @annidom4 in which Tina gave an insight to the background history of writing & producing the 4 part series by CBS, and answering & explaining that very important question.
A must watch series 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@chimamanda_adichie at the Southbank in London.
A great evening listening to one of my favourite authors. ❤️
I love her energy & her warrior stance on women’s and girls development.
Her voice of reason about women writers and getting a dose of her sense of humour 😂
It was the anniversary of her mother’s passing and it was also her father’s birthday.
Her readership took over the Southbank, lining up for hours to get our books signed. She showed great patience and always with a glorious smile.
In these times, I would’ve liked to see a different author conducting the interview.

The Original Macbeth Writing Tribe ✍🏽✍🏼✍️✍🏻✍🏻✍🏽 My Tribe 💛
I love teaching this tribe in our weekly sessions . . . I learn so much from them . . . the lives they live . . . the energy they share . . . the camaraderie between them. The laughter that fills the room each week.
In this session they started with the prompt, ‘I Remember . . . ‘ they wrote for 3 minutes, and then I had them swap papers and finish each others ‘I Remember’
Their creativity flowed, they stepped up to the page with authority, and did justice to their writing-tribes creations.
They’re a BIG deal to me.
