News: Guest Speaker

October 4, 2019 No Comments
Dale Hurst will be a guest speaker at the Live Laugh Love Ladies' Club in October Credit: Patrick Cermák

Outside of writing the books, I’ve been busy preparing for another opportunity…

I’m going to cut a very long story short, here. Eleven months ago, I was approached by a customer who had direct messaged to buy a copy of Lust & Liberty. She mentioned that her mother ran a ladies’ social club and asked if I would be interested in giving a talk, in my capacity as a novelist and journalist. Of course I agreed! The first such opportunity being presented to me! How could I refuse? So, in short, I’m to be a guest speaker at the Live Laugh Love Ladies’ Club’s breakfast event on Wednesday 9th October (click here for more information).

The talk will focus primarily on writing Lust & Liberty, what inspired it and why I started writing it in the first place. I’ll, of course, touch upon upcoming projects, plus my journalism career, such as it is.

If you are a lady with a couple of hours to spare in Poole on Wednesday 9th, I would be very happy to see you there. I’ll have a few copies of the book with me, too — pick one up for a discounted price if you can be persuaded!

Not everyone's experiences in independent publishi Not everyone's experiences in independent publishing are positive, sadly.

I spoke with fellow author @thehsmatthews – who wrote these lovely books – about her recent gripes with Amazon KDP and what she recommends for other writers who find themselves in the same position (God forbid...)

I love creating characters. It's the greatest joy I love creating characters. It's the greatest joy of storytelling, I think. But to make sure they all don't end up as one-dimensional cardboard cutouts in the story, I create comprehensive profiles for all my principal players. Some of the things to include in such profiles are discussed in the latest post on my website (#linkinbio) ✍️✏️🖊️📝📖📚📘📙

One of my favourite characters to write. Love her One of my favourite characters to write. Love her or hate her, there's no denying Mrs Urmstone is devoted to Lady Vyrrington and won't hear a word said against her. This quote from Lust & Liberty pretty much sums that up 📖📘📚
