Stage Mum When I took my six-year-old daughter along to an open audition, it was just a fun way to occupy some time in the Easter holidays. But, despite having no previous stage experience, a few months later she was on stage at the London Palladium in The Sound of Music. "honest, well-observed and very funny" "One woman's hilarious account of putting her daughter on the West End Stage" |

Essays I've contributed essays to a variety of publications including, most recently, ones on Zadie Smith's White Teeth to London Fictions, edited by Jerry White and Andrew Whitehead, on Sensibility to William Hayley (1745-1820), Poet, Biographer and Libertarian: A Reassessment edited by Paul Foster and Diana Barsham and on the relationship between William Hayley and William Cowper to the Cowper and Newton Journal. Radio A meditation on the nature of sound and hearing made for BBC Radio 3's Between the Ears, Disequilibrium traces sound designer & composer Nick Ryan's experience of developing a balance disorder that morphs his world into a space nearly as alien as the 3D audio computer game he's creating. Articles and reviews I've written features for most national newspapers and have reviewed books (still do occasionally) mostly for The Independent and The Independent on Sunday. Websites As you can see, I'm not a designer, but aside from building my own website and, back in 2008 for if:book UK www.rolledythewind.net, I ran the Orange Prize for Fiction (now the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction) website for 12 years (1999-2010), project managed the penultimate website for the National End of Life Care Programme and have also provided digital consultancy or website management services to at least six of the clients /employers on the list above left. |

Friends Why is there only one acceptable ending to the boy meets girl story? Is it really so difficult for men and women to be friends without sex getting in the way? "So level-headed, so sensible, that it's downright shocking" |

Bricks Without Mortar Hartley Coleridge, prodigal son of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is perhaps the most unjustly neglected poet of the nineteenth century. Hartley spent his whole life in his father's shadow; this has coloured every assessment of his work since, and has saved many critics the trouble of reading him at all. "He wrote some of the most exquisite poetry, long neglected and now beautifully re-edited by Lisa Gee." |
