This year, for the first time, the Book Thieves decided to write to a favourite author and try to obtain an interview for our newsletter. As we had just spent a very enjoyable month reading some of the many books of Anne Fine we decided to write to her (enclosing a copy of last year’s newsletter). Anne was very gracious and prompt in her reply and we were delighted with her very comprehensive answers. She also gave us an insight into the world of Authors. Here are the questions we posed to Anne and her replies

‘Bealtaine 09 Nenagh library
Bealtaine 09 was a lively affair with something for everyone, from sketching and art workshops, poetry readings, creative music workshops and film.
Saturday, 9th May, Utte Duggan hosted a sketching class in Nenagh library for 15 local people as part of our Bealtaine celebrations. The class began at 10.30am and was still going strong at 12.45pm. The group consisted of mainly women although there was one lone male and they were hugely enthusiastic about the workshop, even enquiring about the possibility of doing a course in sketching with Utte in the library.
On Thursday 11th May, Tipperary poet Michael Coady, came to Nenagh library to give a reading from his poetry. Michael, a native of Carrick-on-Suir, has won numerous awards for his poetry including the Patrick Kavanagh award for poetry and the RTE Francis McManus short story award. He met with up to 50 members of our very Active Retirement Association and spent a very enjoyable afternoon in their company.
