Tickled to death - a presentation by Simon Brett
Simon is a well known crime writer having authored many books including the Charles Paris novels. His web site provides a list of 102 books! He has also written for radio including the 'After Henry' comedy series.
Next Thursday - January 17th - at 2pm in the Hayling Island Community Centre, he will tell us about his writing life in crime and comedy, from early schoolboy attempts, via twelve years of gainful employment, to being a full time writer, something he has now done for thirty-eight years. He'll cover the ups and downs of his profession, and talk about some of the fascinating people he has met along the way.
