WHAT OTHERS THINK
Our appearance at the Oxford Sunday Times Literary Festival in March brought us some great testimonials from the audience, including these...

'A fascinating talk! You did the double act superbly, passing the 'talking stick' back and forth seamlessly.'

'A splendid show... I was really impressed by the unexpected powerpoint presentation illustrating all the research elements'... 'a great story of writerly/personal collaboration ... I learned a lot.'

'Between you and the computer it felt like a triple act of perfect sychronization... it was particularly good to hear the research side of it made to sound so interesting.'

'A smooth, professional seamless presentation... could have been used as a training film as to how to do it properly. It showed the beauty of bringing years of accumulated experience together and pooling that wealth of knowledge, the vital thing being that it was being delivered by two people who worked so well WITH each other and were in no way in competition.'

'The book looks like a superb box of luxury dark chocolate and it decorates my room as much as I will enjoy reading it.'

'I really enjoyed your talk. I have a very poor attention span but I didn't wander off at all.'
