Images from my event at Chester Literature Festival yesterday, captured by the very talented Katherine Elizabeth Lewis.
“There is little in the way of relief in this harrowing first novel, but Smailes' sensitivity towards her subjects – and the poetry of her writing – carry the story.” Financial Times.
'Black Boxes is bursting with creative ideas, beautiful language, and unforgettable characters. You may need to be a little bit brave to read it - but if you take the plunge, you'll be very glad you did.'

Hi Caroline


Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures.
Katina forgot to add that you look gorgeous too!
I especially loved the OO7 picture.

You look ravishing and confident Caroline and what’s more comfortable. Glad it went well!
Kx.
You look so fab and professional. Love the photos.
You look lovely, and you also look like you’re enjoying yourself. Fabulous!
You look fab - so pleased everything went so well for you! xx
HOT!
Can’t really say you look writerly or important, though sure you are my dear… but HOT! yes indeed, but then that’s a reflection of the talent skill and dedicated hard work you’ve been delivering for quite some time now so glad you are beginning to enjoy it:0)
Just one small note of complaint how come in every shot the lierature is more important than the cleavage; so, that’s what being a writer is all about no wonder I’ll never think of myself as writer couldn’t hold up all volumes of encyclopedia brittanica…not that I’m bragging or anything:0)
Well done my Hot writer friend.
Nice photos! Nice smile. You look happy and relaxed.
Katina Wright - awwww! I didn’t feel impotant, just me (in a frock!)
RKCharron - awww, thank you! I love the OO7 picture too.
Katie McCullough - ‘what’s more comfortable’ - you know what, I hadn’t thought about that, but I do and I was (when it got going, before the start I was terrified!).
Debs carr - thank you, lovely lady.
trousers - mwah x
Janette Jones - thanks honey. I think the camera was kinder than usual!
D-W - ha! That made me laugh out loud. Me, hot?! ha! But, if I had a cleavage like yours, oh believe me, I’d be showing it off to the world! Always!
DJ Kirkby - thanks honey
