WHAT'S BEST?

Two good reading evenings this week, firstly at the Three Mariners in Lancaster and then at the Mortal Man Hotel at Troutbeck Bridge. But I always have a dilemma. What should I read?

With only a three-minute slot, I am more or less forced to read poems from WORD PIE or HOTCHPOTCH. Such a short reading time can be frustrating when I have lots of shorts stories and chapters from my books. In fact I probably have enough material to fill several evenings all on my own.

My next gig is Saturday, at a special edition of Verbalise in a round tent in the grounds of Abbott Hall Art Gallery. Starts at 9pm. Still only fives minutes to read, so I am in a quandary once again. At the moment I'm thinking of a short chapter from FAR SIDE OF THE LAKE, but will I change my mind? Any thoughts, please let me know. Thanks. Julie
