Spotlight on some recent Action/Adventure titles...

One of our favourite books at the moment, A Bookshop of One's Own, has been reprinting. More stock arrived today and Jane Cholmeley came in and signed them. Yeah! The book is a complete delight and comes with a gorgeous bookmark. Instore or online.

Finally got my hands on the latest SomewhereForUs 🌈 Shane Strachan & I were interviewed by the lovely Hanna Louise and I think we came off nae bad! Also great to see featured Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive & Blog, Damian Barr & Briana Pegado FRSA - whose book I just ordered & can't wait to read 💜✨

Thank you . That’s made my day. It’s a good enough reason to write at all! 🙏🏿🙏🏿
