Books & Things on You Tube
Thank you to Katie Lumsden, author of the upcoming The Secrets of Hartwood Hall, who runs a monthly book event on You Tube, where she reviews her recent reads. I really appreciate that she read and liked Ahead of the Shadows, calling it “beautifully written”, “poignant, precise” and having a “perfect ending.” Her review of my book is around 8 minutes in, but the whole thing is a joy to watch as she rounds up her favoirite reads.
Talking location
Trip Fiction hosted a guest blog about the locations and landscapes that inspired Ahead of the Shadows. Here are some of the stories behind the story, taking place in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Darfur Sudan, and the backstreets of Paris.
