About Nut Press
Hello! I’m Kathryn Eastman and I’m a writer. The NUT Press is my online home.
About Me
I was born in Germany to a Welsh father and a Scottish mother, so that makes me confused/Celtic/British/still unable to speak fluent German. I’ve lived in England, Germany, Greece and the United States and am currently based in south Wales, U.K. In a previous life, I was an IP lawyer and a Director and Company Secretary for an ISP. I now work as an EFL tutor and have been writing since 2003. I have written articles, poems and short stories, some of which have been published in journals, magazines and newspapers. You can read a sample on this site. I’m currently working on my second novel while I try to find the first one a good home.
About this site
I have a range of interests, so at some point you’ll no doubt read something about books, both reading and writing them; chocolate; writing news, competitions, events and prizes; chocolate; the writing life; squirrels; chocolate; music and photography, but other random topics might crop up in the mix.
I review books for the publisher, Choc Lit, and other books that I simply enjoy reading and want to tell you about.
Why’s it called the NUT Press? Well, I’m lucky enough to have a squirrel muse (I know! Don’t you wish you were me?) but, more often than not, he is more of a hindrance. His name’s Squizzey and he reckons that he supervises my writing. If you’d like to check him out, he has his own blog: SquizzBlog or you can follow him on Twitter or Facebook. Anyway, the NUT Press seemed an obvious choice for a number of reasons and it’s my blog so that’s what I’m calling it.
So, thanks for stopping by, subscribe to and/or bookmark the site, keep reading and I would love to hear from you if you have any comments, and watch this space!

The Nut Press
Welcome to The Nut Press, online home of writer Kathryn Eastman. What will you find here? Book reviews, chocolate tasting, adventures with squirrels, a lot of tea drinking, and a snoring pussy cat, among other things. Oh, and very occasionally, some writing gets done.

- Kids must think adults are stupid. Fussy eater said he had food allergies when none were on his form. Did he think I wouldn't check that?! ReplyRetweetFavorite

/ October 5, 2011I love having discovered you. I write historical fiction, began a PhD at a London University, transferred it to MPhL and love , for better or worse, many of Sir Walter Scott’s works. He features in my writing reflective work for MPhL. Also, I believe I am part German too and part Scottish for absolute sure as many times ggg grand papa was Cpt in Scotts Greys, won a family crest and land in Ireland as reward for 17th C Marlborough Wars in Europe. So how is this for romance? Mother was a Henning. So, email me sometime. love, Carol
