But I'm told...<BR/><BR/>Liz - I love the idea too. There should be writers-in-residence all over the place, IMO.<BR/><BR/>Oslo - I just hate their little soundbitey gems. Yes, it's great for Sebabatian Barry but the State didn't get him there. He did that all by himself!!<BR/><BR/>Davey - welcome! And congrats on the book and the residency. I hope the novel is getting there for you.<BR/>I have a copy of 'Frothy' but others may want to order, so thanks for the info.Group 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07924947352624027079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-69562865434613070052009-01-28T13:15:00.000+00:002009-01-28T13:15:00.000+00:00I subscribe to a thing called google alerts which ...I subscribe to a thing called google alerts which ping in when Frothy Tales are written about. Sadly since they are only for sale in Costa they are hard to come by overseas, so I have been sending a copy out myself. If you'd like to order one drop me a line and I can mail one over if you're happy to cover postage. Thank you for reading, Davey. daveyspens@btinternet.comDavey Spenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07370700658269032681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-28397044093764948252009-01-28T10:59:00.000+00:002009-01-28T10:59:00.000+00:00Here, here Nuala!

They need more branches mind. And in my local one there are sometimes lovely Italian boys working there!<BR/><BR/>Oh and the supporting literature things as well of course...thegirlwhosafraidoffoxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356985550381700743noreply@blogger.com
