The Mango Orchard blog: May 2011
http://themangoorchard.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
The Mango Orchard blog. The Mango Orchard blog describes the trials and challenges of turning a book into a Best Seller. Wednesday, 25 May 2011. Last week, I was told by a doctor that I was suffering from “non-specific post-viral fatigue”. As well as utter exhaustion, the main symptom has been one of feeling a bit stupid, like a hangover when you’ve not been drinking. I have to confess that none of friends have noticed any difference. To talk about The Mango Orchard. I have to have my wits about me.

Thirty@30: May 2013
http://meetthe30challenge.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 17 May 2013. The Streets of London. When I published my blog about posing in the nude. Still, to date, the only post to single-handedly surpass 1000 page views - I realised that I had probably peaked too soon. At the time, I still had ten challenges to go. How on earth was I going to top getting my kit off? As the days ticked by, I was increasingly troubled by the suspicion that there actually was. Than thirty challenges anyway. So that was the end of that. I had joined a Sock Mob. Group whose mi...

The Mango Orchard blog: Taking my time with Robert Elms

The Mango Orchard blog. The Mango Orchard blog describes the trials and challenges of turning a book into a Best Seller. Wednesday, 29 June 2011. Taking my time with Robert Elms. I arrive at Broadcasting House to appear on Robert Elms’ BBC London programme twenty minutes early; I didn’t want to turn up late and breathless and pant into the microphone. I had been told that I would be on-air just after 11, for about half an hour, but it’s 11.20 before I am called into the studio. I am introdu...As an examp...

The Mango Orchard blog: March 2010

The Mango Orchard blog. The Mango Orchard blog describes the trials and challenges of turning a book into a Best Seller. Monday, 29 March 2010. It’s seven thirty in the morning and I am standing on Sheffield train station en route to BBC Radio Manchester. Why is that radio interviews always seem to necessitate getting up really early? Do people not listen to the radio in the afternoon? Song “I’m Your Man” playing on a wall-mounted speaker. I am trying to think of which stories to tell, but am too busy li...

The Mango Orchard blog: December 2010
http://themangoorchard.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
The Mango Orchard blog. The Mango Orchard blog describes the trials and challenges of turning a book into a Best Seller. Thursday, 16 December 2010. Great grandparents of the Caribbean. I arrive in Manchester to film a short documentary for the BBC about the story told in. I hadn’t prepared for the night time dagger-like icy wind that rushes in to the carriage when I open the train door at Piccadilly station. We talk about the weather. I have no idea what this surprise may be, but as I spent years. And i...

The Mango Orchard blog. The Mango Orchard blog describes the trials and challenges of turning a book into a Best Seller. Friday, 29 July 2011. Norwich here I come. I am getting up slowly. My aim is to have a leisurely breakfast with the newspaper propped up against the toast rack before catching the 11.30 to Norwich, where I am due to appear at Writers’ Centre Norwich’s Summer Reads. The phone rings. It’s a producer at BBC Radio Oxford, asking if Jo Thoenes. Escorts me round the bookshops in the centre o...
