John Standing almost got away from the family trade of acting and into painting but as his mother thought he needed to earn, he fell back on acting. How he thought he would get away with it when he grew up with Laurence Olivier and Vivienne Leigh, Noel Coward and John Guilgud is beyond us but he has been in everything from Private Lives with Maggie Smith to Game of Thrones. His current show is a torrent of delicious name dropping and the songs of Noel Coward and Cole Porter: Noel & Cole is at Crazy Coqs at Brasserie Zedel In London W1 November 9

Erica Jong:

Fabulous and almost totally fearless Erica Jong talks hot pants, poetry as an antidote to fame, the formula for being fearless and why grannies ought to be in charge of when we go to war. Her latest book, Fear of Dying, reintroduces Fear of Flying's Isadora Wing but it is the aging actress Vanessa Wonderman's star turn.

Kate Mosse Baileys Womens Prize for Fiction

In part three of three interviews with Kate she expresses good-natured exasperation when questioned on the relevance of the prize 20 years after she and others founded it: Did Nobel get asked? Each and every prize awarded has criteria to be met; The Bailey's Women's Prize for fiction is for... women! Enough said!

Intermission Youth Theatre:

Mark Rylance was so impressed with Intermission Youth Theatre's adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew: Taming Who, he asked them to be their patron. Based in St. Saviour's in Knightsbridge, Intermission Youth theatre is directed by former prison inmate Daren Raymond. We speak to Associate Director, Cecilia Segar and two young women in this year's production, Rise and Fall (based on Julius Ceasar) Vanessa and Ronke.

GHOST

Louise Welsh

Acclaimed, Glasgow-based writer Louise Welsh has curated a collection of 100 Ghost Stories To Read With The Lights On. We are understandably as obsessed with our dead and death as we are with life and while we may yearn for the return of our loved ones, we are terrified what form that return might take. She has chosen authors both dead and alive (ghostwriters!) from Edgar Allan Poe to Hilary Mantel and includes ghosts and hauntings of many descriptions. Happy Haunting!

Ghost is published by Head of Zeus

Queen Of Noir Writing Cathi Unsworth - Without The Moon

Readers of Cathi Unsworth will know that not only is she the Queen of Noir, she is also the queen of evoking time and place. Her latest novel, Without The Moon, is set in the crime-primed London of 1942; the nights of Blitz and blackout were a perfect playground for criminals. Her starting point is the true crimes from February 1942 of Gordon Frederick Cummins, the "Blackout Ripper."

The elegant and effervescent Alyson Walsh has long been a fashionista but started wondering what happens after 40? How do we stay stylish?

The blog decided to grow up as well and become a book. We think you'll agree that she has the most infectious laugh EVER.

Wealth Creation for Women - Belinda Grashion

Gorgeous Entrepreneurs: Amanda Ruiz with Belinda Grashion

Belinda Grashion started off life in sales: she was peddling religion door-to-door from a very young age and with an impressive conversion rate to boot. She wanted out but got knocked up by the boss at 18. By 40, despite never working in her adult life, she was a desperately poor single mother on benefits. She tells Amanda how a class in property investment changed her life and her fortunes to the tune of several million pounds.

Rachel Johnson's Fresh Hell

Third in her Notting Hill trilogy finds journalist Mimi Fleming returning from the country to her old square. While she was a wellie wearing country bumpkin, her neighbours have groomed and slimmed and become even younger looking. They are busy living in her house, installing double-basements and banker bashing while she is in an ex-council maisonette and falling desperately and inappropriately in lust with a younger woman. Scenes from Rachel's own life?
