Charlie Cochrane - Mysteries with a dash of slash, romances with just a pinch of spice

As produced by the peeps at the "instant write" table at the UK Meet Buffet of banter. Ideas produced in seconds - editing took weeks (only because of summer holidays!)

Sparkling.

Here's me, Jo and Elin doing our humour panel at UK Meet.



Ain't we sweet?

Lovely write up of UK Meet by the lovely Jenre. That's me almost hiding in the picture.

One of the things I like best about UK Meet is that we look out as well as in. The last three years we've done fundraising for Albert Kennedy Trust, raising around £800, and this year the lovely Darren Batey from AKT came along and told us what they use the money for. But there were some lovely extras for 2013: a display or children's books with LGBTQ themes, which we cooed over, and a help-yourself display of material Stonewall had sent us, including the lovely "Happy Fathers' Day" cards featuring two dads.

Now, how can we better that in 2014...?

I wax lyrical about the history of the UK Meet and why I love the event so much, over at the UK Meet blog.
