ollowing a recommendation from Bev Baker (Senior Curator and Archivist at The National Justice Museum), I was amazed and delighted to receive an invitation from Dr Sarah Jackson (Associate Professor in Modern and Contemporary Writing) to appear as the Guest Speaker to third-year students enrolled on the university’s ‘Creative Writing in the Community’ course. I read a selection from the chapter ‘Remember When’ in my first volume of memoir, and explained the process of how my literary adventures had taken shape over the years.
A couple of days later I ‘gifted’ twelve copies of my book to the course students on what was - coincidentally - World Book Day. Here I am presenting the volumes to Dr Sarah Jackson.
