Here's a short message from our good friend Ray and a link to his excellent review of Ruth's new book.
Glad to hear that things in general went well at the book festival.
I have just finished Ruth's book 'Humber Boy B' and posted a review at http://brokentrails.blogspot.com if anyone is interested.
