Blush, blush ... snort, snort!

There is an interview with me in today's Times (Saturday 26th July 2008) by Amanda Craig.

Here is the link:

They don't half harp on about my age!

Nice interview, Mary. Great to see you getting this sort of coverage.

I'll be getting my copy of City of Secrets in Witney when I see you in September ... got to get it signed to match the other ones. I must admit I'm itching to read it, but I've got a whole stack of books in my 'to read' pile at the moment, so it may be a while.

Wow, that's a great interview, Mary! They do seem a bit obsessed with your age at every interesting moment in your life, but it sounds like a very colorful life, and the article does tell a lot about Stravaganza. It makes both you and the books sound fascinating (as no doubt you are), and what could be better than that?

Thanks all. Certainly you must complete your set of signed copies, Mark! 6th September will be on us in a trice.

And I'm glad you thought it sounded interesting Teresa; Good publicity, anyway.

Yup. Initially it was for English entrance at Oxford but then she asked me to do Anglo-Saxon with her. I said yes but on the understanding I'd just be one chapter ahead of her in the text book. It was fun!
