I have been thinking a lot about being on this longlist, and what I hope the judges take from my book. And truly, my hope is that while they are reading it, they completely forget that they are judging a literary competition, and just enjoy a gripping story. That's enough.

Last night Love Books: BAD LUCK PENNY by Amy Heydenrych launched with Gail Schimmel, and judging by these happy photos, it was a fabulous evening. Wonderful to see the Joburg branch of the Karavan Press family tree growing! ❤️
