In
the advent of my book talk at Coventry Central Library, I will be interviewed
by Phil Upton of BBC Coventry and Warwickshire Radio for a five minute chat.
Interview
on BBC Coventry about Book Talk
 |
| Radio interview with Charles Jay Harwood |
I will be holding the following day at Coventry Central
Library on Tuesday 8 July at 10.30am. As I write in 2 different genres (art instruction
and fiction thrillers) will do a talk on both subject areas.
The
talk is to last about an hour, with half-hour overrun allowance. There is a lot
to cover, as I shall bring my art instruction books, sample paintings, as well
as the fiction thrillers that I write under my pseudonym.
Book
Talk with Charles Jay Harwood
The
author never knows how the book talk will pan out, despite planning, so I have drafted
an outline on how the author talk will run. I will begin with my art books,
showing samples and original artwork.
I
shall then follow this with how I got into writing and how this evolved into my
fiction thrillers and a little about what my books are about. I will then read an
excerpt from one of my books, Falling Awake.
There
will be a break for refreshments (and hopefully purchases) followed by a question and answer
session.
As
there is only a few minutes airtime on the radio interview, hope to convey the
feel of the book talk in the allotted time. I am looking forward to the chat and
hope I don’t stumble with my words too much. This is my first radio interview but
feel this is a great experience for any author spreading the word about author events.
A
busy week ahead and I am looking forward to being interviewed by Phil, as well as
readers at the author event in Coventry Library.
