My Secret Blog is Retiring

I was never a convincing blogger at the best of timesâ€� And since taking on the full-time post as Professor of Creative Writing and Digital Media at Bath Spa Uni in 2013, blogging is one of the things that has fallen out of my life. Instead, as always, I partake in social media, so you can find me on FB, on twitter @katepullinger, and even on Instagram as @katepullinger where I show off my non-exis Read more of this blog post »

“I got so used to saying good-bye that when he disappeared for real I didn't notice.”
Kate Pullinger, Weird Sister

“She's going to keep up her public facade of stoicism and generosity and getting on with thungs. She knows she can do it, she can do the stiff upper lip thing. I will survive. But behind closed doors the going is rough. It's when she is alone that it hits her. And she is often alone, too often, she things no one should have to be alone as much as she is. It should have been me: her mind is a morass of old songs now, Errol Brown started it. It should have been me.”
Kate Pullinger, Weird Sister

“She had that kind of undeniable femininity that few women achieve, bogged down as we are by other things.”
Kate Pullinger, Weird Sister
