Love your descriptive details. “It was as if the night had fangs,” would make a great creative writing prompt. Beautiful work!

I visited Glastonbury and Eyam recently and felt like I was on a Ring the Hill pilgrimage. It’s a book that really stayed with me.

That poor reviewer. Cows listening to R and B from a mixtape is fascinating stuff. I love this book.

I loved this book & looking forward to reading it again this winter. So glad to have been able to support this via Unbound.

I love that you shared bad reviews, but I feel compelled to note that as someone who was a teen in the 80s, I remember making "mixed tapes" before the term mixtape was used in 1991. 🙂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixtape

On a separate note, thanks for sharing your newsletter free of charge!

[taking notes for book]

remember to make something interesting/noteworthy happen within the first 25 pages, possibly *not* involving cows listening to a “mixed tape", otherwise Amazon reviewers will be disappointed...
