December 23rd 2008 and repeated all week- Glastonbury Radio - interview with Kit on "Witching Hour". Thanks to a request from one of the Stonewylde Forum members, Kit was interviewed by Liz and Trevor of Glastonbury Radio . Liz is a Stonewylde fan herself, and the books sell very well in Glastonbury (no surprise there!). Kit answered questions about Stonewylde.

Kit was invited by the organisers of this lovely event to give a talk about Stonewylde, and was especially looking forward to this as she's never visited Dartmouth before. What a beautiful little town! The Tantra Festival was great, held in the Flavel Centre and just flowing with peace and energy. There were many tantric workshops, healers, complementary therapists and of course wonderful stalls. The group who attended her talk were a real mixed bunch, but all had one thing in common - their love and respect for Mother Earth and the natural world. Kit explained how Stonewylde was born, and how her experiences with nature and earth energy changed the course of her life and inspired her to write the Stonewylde Series. She also talked of the pagan calendar and the eight festivals of the year, and many who hadn't already read the books bought signed copies. Kit hopes to return to Dartmouth next year, as she really enjoyed herself talking to such open and welcoming people.

Kit spent two days at the Park House School talking to the whole of Year 10, who are about to start on their "Original Writing" coursework for the English GCSE. Kit was made very welcome by Mrs Tyrrell the school librarian, who'd made a lovely Stonewylde display. The teaching took place in the library with eight different classes over the two days, and the students were excellent. They heard of how Kit wrote her books and how everyone can use real life experiences and anecdotes as inspiration for their writing. Kit had a wonderful time at the school and enjoyed working with so many youngsters and teachers. And hopefully her time there will help them if they're stuck for ideas.

Kit was interviewed for this fantastic lifestyle website for women, in the section "I love my job". She spoke of all aspects of life as a writer and why being an author is such a great job. Kit will be writing more for the website soon - her top tips for would-be writers. Click here to read the interview.

Magus of Stonewylde received glowing reviews in December's issue of Spirit and Destiny, which is billed as "The UK's No.1 Spiritual Lifestyle Magazine".

Three of the magazine's Book Club readers reviewed the book, with great praise such as "The author has a huge talent for descriptive writing" and "I found myself totally absorbed - this is escapism at its best".

The magazine has now requested Moondance of Stonewylde and Solstice at Stonewylde to review in future editions, so watch this space next year!

Kit and her huge family were part of a special Christmas feature in this popular glossy magazine, which also mentioned Stonewylde and her writing. The magazine had been looking for a family where everyone descended at Christmas, and Kit and Mr B certainly fitted the bill for this! There was a lovely photo of both of them and some members of their family posing with sleeping bags and towels (part of the Nightmare of Christmas when there are so many bods to accommodate!) and Kit gave some top tips for coping at this busy festive season when the family descend.
