Celebration!

Please join us at The Book Lounge for a celebration of Andrew Brown’s The Bitterness of Olives, winner of the 2024 Sunday Times Fiction Prize.

The Book Lounge is where the story of the publication of this novel with Karavan Press began (join us for the celebration to hear the details) and where the book was officially launched in October last year. Since its publications, The Bitterness of Olives has been offering its readers a deeply empathetic insight into a turbulent history that continues to tragically unfold in front of our eyes. Earlier this month, the bestselling novel has been recognised with the prestigious Sunday Times Fiction Prize.

The Sunday Times Fiction Prize judges called it a “contemporaneous, daring, complex and aesthetically pleasing novel”.

It will be a great joy to celebrate this exquisite book and its wonderful author at the bookshop where it all started!

We hope to see you all there!

IN OTHER STORIES launched at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront

We had a full house at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront for the launch of In Other Stories, edited by Kerry Hammerton. Kerry was in conversation with Nancy Richards.

Most of the flash anthology contributors were present. A few are first-time published authors, which made the launch so much more special. It was an incredibly joyous occasion and a beautiful way to welcome the book into the world. Thank you to all for making it happen and to all who shared the celebration with us! Happy reading!

On 21 September, Kerry is running a flash fiction workshop in view of compiling the next anthology of flashes. Click here for details: FLASH FICTION WORKSHOP.

DOT TO DOT by Lisa Tredoux launched at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront

Our first children’s book (for children between five & hundred and five) was officially launched at Exclusive Books V&A Waterfront last night: Dot to Dot by Lisa Tredoux. It was a truly heart-warming occasion.

Lisa was in conversation with fellow actor and children’s book author, Bianca Flanders.

It was an evening of sheer storytelling delight. Thank you to all involved! I went home smiling, and this morning, the coffee in my Freckolion mug tasted so much better than usual 🙂 Happy reading!
