Absolutely gersplunkered (technical term) and full of love for the judges, the HWA, and my fellow brilliant shortlisted authors.

All readers from Camden and beyond welcome. I think there is a £5 charge for wine, but do come along and please RT, I love this library, which I haunted both as a child and then as an impoverished unemployed graduate - it's where much of my "real" reading was done.

📚Author Talk on 13 May Amanda Craig talk about her book, High and Low, at the library at 7pm. A group of people come under siege in North London. The divisions between high and low, old and new are thrown into violent contrast. Are they going to try to save themselves?
