by Steve 1 year agoVery well done, Shelley - I think you have achieved something quite rare and extraordinary. -
by shelleyharris 2 years agoThanks very much, John. This also gives me the chance to thank you for your performance on Saturday night. I was transported, too - to another place, and into another viewpoint. People were talking afterwards about how authentic it felt. -
by John Taylor 2 years agoShelley – I loved your Authonomy piece. Very many congratulations: I look forward to the book on prominent display in my local Waterstones - buying it, taking it home and being transported into the world you created. -
by Jane 2 years agoShelley, I'm really sorry we didn't get a chance to chat more. I looked around for you but whenever I saw you, you were busy. I'm looking forward to hearing from you when you've recovered. -
by shelleyharris 2 years agoThanks very much, Eyress. It was a great festival, wasn't it? I could do it all again after a couple of nights' sleep!

by Becks 2 years agoHi Shelley, hope you had a calm journey home yesterday. 4 hours of motorway driving has left me pretty shattered today, but I still got working on my redraft as soon as I was awake this morning! Just hope that the inspiration and motivation keeps up! -
by CeJA 2 years agoThank goodness. What yesterday needed more than anything else was cheese. Well, and wine, obviously. Good luck with your book, you have such style!
