Here you go, guys. If you’ve got a spare 12 minutes or so, enjoy.
The first video is about writing and blogging. Or writing vs blogging, as the case may be and often is. The second video focuses more on my upcoming book Surprise!
At the end of my session I did do a reading of Surprise! but it has been edited out here. Sorry, call me a massive tease if you will, but you’ll just have to wait until you order/buy a copy for yourselves to read it.
(So anyone there on Saturday Sunday night was lucky!) {Can’t even get my days straight!}
Yes, I talk with my hands. I use them a lot. I gesticulate. I have done so all my life. It ain’t sexy, I know. In part I was also trying, I think, to mask my nerves. All through the talk my tongue felt it had swollen to twice its size.
Let me know what you think. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.

Karen I think you represented yourself beautifully. You are making great progress and really making your own opportunities as you said in the clip. You are inspiring.
Thanks for posting the clips. I haven’t got to the Writers Festival this year, but at least I’ve had a glimpse!

Karen, methinks you worry too much. You’re as articulate while speaking as you are while writing.
And hey, we Italians speak with our hands. It’s okay. Welcome to the club.

Karen, you did wonderfully well. Anyone would be nervous, but you came across very well.

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing you speak about your book. You have a lovely speaking voice, and I didn’t notice you flapping your hands around in an excessive way (then again, I’m also one of those that can’t talk without my hands, so maybe I just don’t notice.)
