This is a fabulous story with a lovely rhythm and feel to it, something like wistful, but more muscular. Among other things, it’s about how children can be saved by unexpected strangers when their parents aren’t up to nurturing their potential. Do You Want A Happy Ending? by Claire Massey:

Anyone thinking of entering one of the Yeovil Prize categories: you’ve only got about a week because they close at the end of the month. Coming 2nd in the novel prize in 2019 which was a hugely validating proud moment. This year I’m judging the story prize!

This looks like being a really interesting evening. Da by Arathi Menon is about a boy growing up in India whose father is gay. The author and publisher @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social will be in conversation on the 9th June in Manchester’s Social Refuge: www.socialrefuge.com/event-detail...

On Sunday 7th June I will be on a panel with wonderful fellow Northodox writers discussing historical fiction with relevance to issues we are facing now www.leedslitfest.co.uk/events/shapi...
