Each year, Public Lending Rights pays authors a small amount based on library loans of their books. I’m delighted there were nearly 5000 loans of my books (ebooks, audios, hard + paperbacks, large print editions) from July 2023 to June 2024. Support your local library! @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social

Thanks to the Dogmersfield, Winchfield and Crookham Village Horticultural Society for inviting me to talk to their members (about books, not horticulture!). A lovely evening spent discussing the history & Hampshire locations that have inspired my books. The Society's first event was held in 1952 🌸🥦🥕
