Exciting news! BBC's The One Show have been back in touch with John Martin, the 98-year-old author of the best-selling war memoir A Raid over Berlin, and will be rescreening the interview with him that first appeared in November 2018 this Friday, 8 May, to celebrate VE Day. Not only that but they revisited him last week (socially distanced, of course) and will also be showing that follow-up interview.
We might have had to push back the publication date of our forthcoming titles because of you-know-what, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy working on getting them out into the world on ebook.
Here are some snaps from our launch of our new poetry in translation title Home on the Move at Ledbury Poetry Salon on Friday night with readings from Jim Dening, Margaret Adkins, Jacqui Rowe and myself playing Deryn Rees-Jones for one night only. All followed by an excellent open mic. Thanks for having us!
