Bonjour! Here are a couple of videos I worked my little socks off for. The first is an expedition to find the places in A Curious Guide To London by Simon Leyland, including the possible real life inspiration for Miss Havisham.
The next is a reading of my bizarro fiction novella at the Big Green Book Shop with Chris Meekings hosted by award winning author Laura Lee Bahr. It was amazing and I hope you like it too.
I was intrigued by all the crazy stories — and they were true! Pig fat must’ve been prized back then for not only did Lady Lewson use it on her body, it was dabbed on women’s hair. Ewww. The mouse traps freaked me out, as well as just the thought of mice in my hair!
What an amazing video you made and how nice to have your very own cameraman 😀 I absolutely was enthralled and LOVED it all! I’ll check out your reading at the Big Green Book Shop soon.
Oh thank you so much! Yes it’s fascinating to find out about the weirder side of the city, we might even do a part two one day.
