Tomorrow on Ujima

I’m currently at the Ujima studios. I’ve just been editing the interview with Mark Wright about his new book, Heartman. It includes a brief chat about how he used code-switching in his book to indicate how his lead character needed to behave differently within the St. Pauls community here in Bristol, and in the wider white community. Sounds like Mark has worked very hard on this.

First on tomorrow’s show, however, will be Becca Lloyd who has two new books out, and will be having a launch event at Foyles on Friday. One of them is a horror collection from the fabulous folks at Tartarus Press.

In the second hour I have some people in from Outset, a Bristol organization that helps people set up their own businesses. And for the final half hour I have Jayne from Bristol Pride to tell us all about the amazing events that I will be missing because I am going to Finncon.

By the way, talking of book launches, Gareth Powell’s brother, Huw, is launching a kids’ book about space pirates on Saturday, also at Foyles. Like I said, it is a busy week.
