The writer as reader...@JoScottHeritage steps in to cover brilliantly for an injured colleague last week on our 'Shore Lines' tour at #Allendale Library @NlandLibs & @DennisKilgallon Gallery Whitfield @NorthPenninesNL #LiteraturePosts #Reading #art #Northumberland

This is a recently completed British train station. It is pathetic, value engineered to a level of comatose ugliness that dispirits & dulls the mind, dissuading passengers & degrading the trains that run through it. It is not civic or sociable architecture....

Back on the road to #Allendale library @NlandLibs @NlandNP Thurs 6 (7pm) & Kilgallon Gallery #Whitfield on Sat 8 (7pm) Tickets eventbrite.co.uk #Northumberland #Literature @AnnCleeves @tonyglover11 @JoScottHeritage @LindaJCracknell

@BorderReaders @TheWord_UK @AnnCleeves @tonyglover11 @SarabandBooks @JoScottHeritage Good luck with the reading tour! On a related note (just) may I ask who painted the coast scene in your cover photo. The minimalist treatment of the beach/dune connection is perfect.

We've set sail! @TheWord_UK #SouthShields 1st gig of the Shore Lines tour...Thanks to our brilliant writers @AnnCleeves @tonyglover11 Linda Cracknell @SarabandBooks @JoScottHeritage #Reading #shortstories #Northumberland #Cumbria #Literature
