🐶 Just in time for Christmas - we have some great gifts for dog owners for sale in the Library & Visitor Information service from @CornishSpliced. Hand made in St Ives from repurposed fishing gear, their leads and floating toys are perfect for the beach.

Like other authors, I received my Public Lending Right statement yesterday. Thank you to everyone who has borrowed one of my books this past year. More importantly, thank you for supporting libraries. Libraries rock and librarians are superstars.
