Yes, as this site’s helpful countdown timer tells me there are just three (whole) days until the 25 Jan 2026 Festival! Am I panicking? No. I’m excited actually, especially as we have at least one author on each panel… so I have someone to talk to!

Okay, yes it’s still a little daunting but I have some help with some of the panels (Children’s: Lee, Donna: crime, Denise: historical) so I will have time to relax. (Ha!) I live and breathe writing so I’ll be in my element.

Having 20 minutes between panels to download the recording and set up the next panel will be a challenge but who said life was easy?
