A night at the theatre and I’m once again basking in reflected glory: YS is a talented young actor – everyone tells me this. He is. It’s true. He takes his profession seriously and works hard.
Good friend and fellow writer has announced she’s won an important short story contest, to be awarded just two weeks before the anthology in which her first short story is to be published is launched at the Hay Festival.
