Apple Orchard, Lemon Grove

I’m very happy to have my full rights back for this novel. It is now available on Amazon – and via the ‘hot buttons’ on this website – as a paperback or on Kindle.

The novel features an English girl and a moody Italian chef who get together over an inheritance…

It is available for £1.99 on Kindle or £7.00 paperback.

I am also hoping to offer an audio version in the near future.

A Town Like Evesham

Local singer-songwriter Colin Pitts, Evesham poet Bob Woodroofe and I have united to produce a CD of poems and songs called ‘A Town Like Evesham.’

The CD is available from  Jellypicklejam café and by getting in touch with Colin at www.colinpitts.co.uk or Bob at www.greenwoodpress.co.uk or email me at sue.r.johnson@outlook.com 

The three of us will be performing ‘Along the Avon’ – poems, stories and songs from along the Avon on Thursday 24th October at Number 8 Community Arts Centre, Pershore.

The Evesham Cafe Collection

Evesham Festival of Words photographer, Angela Fitch, and I have joined forces to produce a book of poems, recipes and images featuring some of the beautiful cafes in Evesham.

The work has involved visits to the various cafes (and drinking coffee and eating loads of cake), meeting the lovely owners and – in my case – being inspired to write a poem about the experience.

We unfortunately couldn’t fit everyone into this book – but if this one sells there will be scope to do another one next year. Copies are on sale at The Almonry Tourist Information Centre, Evesham, Jellypicklejam café, Brew Bear café  and other featured cafes. You can also order a copy from me by emailing sue.r.johnson@outlook.com
