Instead of spending Saturday doing the usual household chores today I escaped and went with fellow Fermanagh Authors’ Association members Vicky Herbert, Sean McElgunn and Julie Franco  to Cavan Town for the afternoon. We were invited to

My first time in the studio

Northern Sound Radio’s studio to record some of our stories for a radio programme their DJ Karina Charles is preparing.

I found it much less nerve wracking than reading to a live audience – I knew I could re-read as often as I liked until I got it right!

relaxed and fun and we had loads of time to sit and chat while waiting for our turns to record.  It certainly beat housework!
