Performances

Jan has performed her one woman show Red Lipstick & Revelations (50 mins) in libraries, residential homes, schools, hospitals, community centres, for charity fundraisers and for WI and writing groups in the UK and South Africa. No venue too small or too large.

AVAILABLE NOW

Red Lipstick & Revelations

Red Lipstick & Revelations includes international prize-winning and commended poetry. The poems take you on an unexpected and winding journey: from the African night air to Montreal, the road to Strathclyde or the Stranraer ferry. Shipwrecked, silver surfing or dressed to kill, we encounter love, loss, lamentation, laughter - and lipstick.

Published by Indigo Dreams Publishing (Most Innovative Publisher/Saboteur Awards 2017)
