My work-in-progress was longlisted for the Bath Novel Award in June 2020. Thirty-five titles were selected for the long list, out of 1,735 entries. Reader comments on my opening chapters included:
Masterful opening. Took me from chuckle to flinch to hooked in the space of a few lines. Definitely want to spend more time with this unreliable narrator.
and
Engaging style full of observational and deadpan humour. What’s not to like?
Congratulation to all the long and short listers, and to the winner Andrew J King for his intriguing-sounding novel The Arrow Garden.
