In conversation with Gill
Watkiss, is a fascinating insight into the life of this renowned
Cornish artist.
This biography offers a faithful and candid
transcript of conversations with Gill between October and November
2019.
Gill discusses her experiences growing up in Walthamstow,
London and her evacuation to the countryside during World War Two.
In
the second interview, we learn of the events that led to Gill's move
from London to Cornwall at nineteen, the inspiration behind her
work, and her emotional attachment to Cornwall and West Penwith.
The
final recording focuses on Gill's thoughts on life in general.
This
book has been devised to give the reader the impression of personally
engaging with the artist.
Some paintings featured in the book are
from Gill's private collection and have not been previously
exhibited.

Amazon reviews
Intrigued by the cover and title, I downloaded this new release.
Outstanding. I loved this collection of stories. Some are pretty dark, some sad and funny, though all have a strong vein of humour that brings the characters and stories to life.
The dialogue and narration running through each story are a joy.
There are twelve stories and it's hard to choose a favourite.
Greasy Joe's is sad, and Henry The Eighth is dark and funny. I loved Jimmy and the Ferret and Ouagadougou was laugh-out-loud brilliant. Oh, and I must add the final one, Strangers on a Train.
Each story left me wanting more and the book left me wanting a second collection from this author.
Different and original.

Lies & Revelations is a compelling, fast-moving story about emotional extremes, moral dilemmas, violence, death, and true love.
Zeta May, the main character and narrator has a complex personality and an extraordinary story.
We meet Zeta in her mid-20s, struggling with anorexia and the aftermath of drug abuse.
When a new family moves in next door, she develops an obsessive interest in their household dynamics: the wife, two young boys, and Ray, the father.
Zeta's parents died in separate but equally violent incidents when she was two years old. She has absolutely no recollection of her mother's death, even though she watched her die.
Zeta has one older sister, Angie, who takes on her mother's role.
When Angie decides it is time for Zeta to face the truth, further revelations about the past leave both Angie and her sister reeling from the shock.
From that point on, we follow Zeta through an extraordinary decade in her life, which takes her, and the listener, to places they could never have imagined.
Although not initially the most lovable character, her human frailty, personal struggles, and incredible life experiences will have you rooting for her and demanding a happy ending.
Will Zeta's newfound happiness last or does her disturbing past, revenge, and retaliation threaten to destroy her?
