Last night was our monthly Mermaids Writing Group meeting. About 4 times a year we have a guest speaker, and last night we welcomed the lovely Peter Jones to our meeting, as an honorary Mermaid π
I’ve known Peter since 2011, when I first met him at Swanwick (the writers summer school) where I bought his first book from the book room, not knowing he was actually there until someone pointed him out lol. Since then, i’ve followed his journey, and although I haven’t physically seen him in 7 years (couldn’t quite believe it had been that long! lol) we’ve kept in touch via FaceBook.
I was thrilled to bits when he agreed to visit us (thank you Mr Jones!), I knew our members would love him, and they did (Peter is a thoroughly nice chap with an interesting story). He has definitely picked up some new fans! He’s written 8 books now and last night I bought the only one I didn’t have…

A wonderful evening full of laughs and writing chatter…I drove home with a smile on my face π
