Inspiration Point

Launched today, Inspiration Point is a “place for young people interested in the arts in the North-east of Scotland to find out more about the creative pathways available to them within their local area and beyond.” It looks like a great resource, the kind of thing I wish had been around when I was growing up inContinue reading “Inspiration Point”

On The Road

I’ve been pretty silent on here this year. Not because little has been happening but because so much has been going on, but much that has yet to achieve fruition. Copy edits, proposals, enough emails to destroy an entire rainforest of e-trees. But we’re getting there. The First Time Solo book tour has taken upContinue reading “On The Road”
