A good International Women’s Day? Aye Write!
What with one thing and another, I only made it to one event at Aye Write this year, but did I pick a good one or what? Myself, Kay and Sue headed along to the Jackie Kay and Val McDermid reading last Sunday night. It was totally packed out, which made for a great atmosphere.
