The other day I gave a talk on my novel ‘Heritage of Secrets’ to a group of teenagers at Plumstead Manor Girls School. One of the questions asked was what’s the best thing about having a book published? I thought good question and then realised it’s the simple joy of bumping into people who go ‘I’ve just finished your book’. It’s somehow quite a thrill to have spent ages on this story inside my head and now to feel it’s out there in the world. If you’re interested in knowing more about the novel join the Heritage of Secrets facebook group http://tinyurl.com/3tn2az. Other exciting things I’ve been up to is recording new material with musician Janie Armour. We’re putting our CD ‘Different Words For Snow’ together for a national tour with Phrased & Confused in May. See below and http://www.myspace.com/aoifemannixandjaniearmour for more info.
Phrased and Confused is off on tour again in May 2009, taking our irresistibly playful offer of spoken word and lyrical music to venues in Bracknell, London, Norwich, Derby, Stockton and Exeter.
Vying for the best seat on the tour bus will be: Woodpigeon, Canada’s ‘most unjustly overlooked band’ according to The Guardian; the playfully satirical poet Murray Lachlan Young; the root-you-to-the-spot-because-her-words-are-so-honest poet, Aoife Mannix, and her equally spell-binding musical counterpart, Janie Armour, and – definitely claiming the back seat for their sheer exuberance and passion for all manner of spoken words – Mark Grist and MC Mixy.
