Come join me and novelist Marcel Theroux for a Faber Academy course in February 2010 -- "Perspiration and Inspiration", we've called it -- the discipline of writing. It will be a very practical course, so take the first step to sitting down every day and writing by booking a place!

Also in February, from the 10th to the 14th, Pas de Deux, the piece I have been working on with Abbi Patrix and Linda Edsjö, will be performed for the first time at La Maison du Conte, in Chevilly-Larue outside of Paris. Come along, it's bound to be an adventure.

I've added a playlist to the Norton paperback of Seizure. If you're not in the US, or if you want a preview, click here...

"Seizure is terrific." Philip Pullman

"Erica Wagner has written a book that is unique, that defies categorisation. She has managed to weave familiar old tales, legends, psychology, neurology, and topography, into a fresh, poetic tapestry, a celebration of the human imagination and the power of story. It's a project that could have gone badly wrong. But it is a triumph because she has woven her words well. The composition is subtle, the language is superb. Nothing could be as poetic, as stunning, as magical, as the original stories that inspired this book. But Seizure comes close. It is a magnificent novel." Eilis Ni Dhuibne, The Irish Times

Much to my amazement, I was interviewed by Charlie Rose for PBS: watch a clip if you want...
