Armchair Author<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Armchair Author host Adele Ward<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0will interview\u00c2\u00a0author Patricia Averbach<\/strong>, whose debut novel\u00c2\u00a0Painting Bridges<\/strong><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0was released recently. Patricia workshopped this novel in Second Life, so virtual worlds have played an important part in her success as a writer. In November her debut poetry collection will be published as a prize for winning the International Lumen\/Camden Poetry Competition judged by acclaimed American poet Anne Stevenson, and she will read an extract from the novel and also the winning poem on the show.<\/p>\n

Adele Ward (Avatar: Jilly Kidd)<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0has been running the Written Word group with writing events almost daily for nearly six years. In real life she is an author and publisher with a long career in journalism. On Second Life she created and ran the Meet an Author show which was broadcast on Treet.TV for nearly three years, interviewing a published author every two weeks, from bestselling authors to debut novelists.<\/p>\n
