The TV interview was screened tonight and a link is enclosed below so you can see it.
Channel Report at 6:00pm
I hope to get permission to include the clip here so it will be easier but in the meantime this link should stay live for a few weeks I believe.
Can you spot my 'deliberate' mistake!

All done and dusted!
I've just returned from recording the TV interview at the 'Cup and Saucer' (Fort Grey) near the cottage where Rachel, Tom, David and Rebecca escaped early one morning in Flying Fish 2!
Included in the interview was a short reading which I took from the very beginning of Chapter One, not wishing to give too much away. Then I suspect I did just that in the interview!
I'm not sure when it will be broadcast, it could be tomorrow but also may be next week. Channel Television have said it's likely I will be able to add it to my site but I'm waiting for formal confirmation, if I can, I will try to add it this weekend or next.

Rain stopped play!
Well the rainy weather yesterday, and probably for the rest of this week, has meant a reschedule for the Channel Tele interview. We are currently hoping for next week if it fails to improve later this week.
I'll keep you posted!

Channel Television Interview
Tomorrow morning (12th May), Channel Television are filming both an interview and location shots from Rachel's Shoe. I will also be reading a passage from Rachel's Shoe, so deciding which one to read is a little tricky!
I don't know for sure what the edited version will contain or when it will go out, it might be tomorrow, it might be later but I believe I may be able to get a copy to post here. I'll certainly try!
This weekend we celebrated Liberation Day in Guernsey some 64 years after the Nazi's were finally evicted from our islands. It's a big deal here with flags and bunting everywhere and a carnival atmosphere on the piers in 'town'.
For me the most evocative experience of the day each year is the 9:00am air raid siren that can be heard across the island. The final 'all clear' never fails to bring a lump to my throat.

BBC Radio Guernsey
There has been quite a lot going on recently with Newspaper and Magazine articles. Coming in a few weeks will be an 'in flight' magazine article for Blue Islands Airline - Blue Skies. Also a short feature on local TV.
If you would like to hear an interview I did today on Radio Guernsey today, below is the link. Apparantly BBC Radio 4 also gave a mention, but I missed that!
Radio Guernsey
The program is over an hour long so to get to my bit (and you may need BBC iPlayer or RealPlayer), start about 75% of the way through. It will be on for 5 days.

Rachel's Shoe - The Movie?
This weekend an experienced play write from Canada has confirmed his interest in writing a Screen Play for a movie of Rachel's Shoe!
There is a lot of detail to be agreed and the publishers will need to be happy but it was facsinating to hear a professional view on how the film might come together. Some of my reviewers have also mentioned the potential for a film and I think the islands do lend themselves to becoming a splendid setting.
It isn't definate and may take a while but keep your eyes open at "a cinema near you" !
Actually, I might just mention it here :)

News of other projects
Last night the final chapter plan was completed for the sequel to Rachel's Shoe! The follow-up novel promises more from the unique location of the Islands and I hope you will feel the sand between your toes and a glow in your heart as you read it. I don't wish to give too much away but will post occasionally on the progress here. It may be quite a while in coming though so I hope you will be patient with me!
In the meantime news of another project I've been involved in since last year. Whilst taking my main summer holidays, I decided to issue an invitation to writers around the world to take part in a collaborative novel project. Dozens of applications came in from people with a range of experience from novice to well published authors and literary professionals. A group of complete strangers of all ages with life experience from across our planet as far afield as Alaska to Australia, from Europe to the Far East and across the USA came forward to join in.
From over 50 applicants, a team of 20 was selected and the serious writing began in January this year after a few months of planning and preparation in 2008. We have just one year to complete our Novel!
The project is unique and the progress to date has been remarkable. There is little doubt the project process itself would make a fascinating read!

Coming soon....
The press releases for Rachel's Shoe are due out in the coming weeks, I'll be adding them to the website when they are published.
That's all for now
