Of course he was pictured in the Sun with his kit off and I’ve only made Writers’ Forum (and am still wearing a laptop) but it I’m just thinking that if I get a fraction of the hits that the 3rd In Line got when he appeared Online in the altogether, it could mean “going viral” (in the eager-readers-all-around-the-world-pressing-that-forward-button, rather than the antibiotic sense) and can only be good for my “career” . (The rather grand term I occasionally use when not sure how best to describe the motley collection of writing jobs I undertake in a vain attempt to earn a crust.)
The funny thing is that while I remember answering a lot of questions for Anita Loughrey who so kindly set up this interview, I have no recollection of sending her the photo. I can only imagine wine had been taken! 🙂
But now it’s “out there” I can tell you the painting is by Brian Homewood and when I get near a scanner I’ll post the tale of how it all came about (as told to Woman’s Weekly). In the meantime, clever Morgen – blog mistress extraordinaire – is going to post this for me from the student kitchen at the NAWG Festival while I get my frock on before dinner (I am the after-dinner speaker – God help ’em – so had better not wear tracksuit bottoms) and Barry (I trust!) gets the bloody wine open…
And woman tempted man with an Apple ™ . That is a lovely picture which highlights your coast based, sun-scorched lifestyle. The artist has captured your cheeky grin and the different colours of your skin beautifully.
