It's over a week now since the Love Stories Etc Festival in Manchester and I'm still buzzing! Were you there? Did you see the photos? It was an absolutely stupendous weekend celebrating all aspects of romantic fiction and I LOVED it!
I took part in the Beach Read panel with Isabelle Broom (who was a great host), Veronica Henry and Ellie Wood. We had such fun and I attended loads of the other panels, too. There were also seminars and workshops running throughout the day and lots of other authors who weren't taking part turned up. It was a fabulous opportunity to immerse yourself in a hundred love stories, whether you're a reader, an author or, like me, both. It will come as no surprise that I'm hoping it will all happen again next year!
I didn't get much of a chance to explore the city itself, but the central library was beautiful and the architecture I admired during taxi trips was stunning. The Midland Hotel provided a wonderful stay, too. That Club Sandwich... perhaps next year I'll add a few extra days on to my trip to celebrate Love Stories Etc...
