Posted by RLD on 6th March 2010

The first Sandstone Press Gaelic-language author Floraidh MacDonald will be appearing at Glasgow’s Aye Write! Festival on Monday 8th March, 7.30pm with The Gaelic Book Council Director, Ian MacDonald, and Sandstone’s Robert Davidson to discuss her book Letter from America.

There will also be a reading from Catriona Lexy Campbell’s new book, City Tricks, and RLD will discuss not only Sandstone’s committment to Gaelic but also to ebooks. Floraidh was one of the first authors to appear in our first venture into ebooks, at that time with beaurtifully designed PDFs. We were ahead of the game then, a bit too far ahead as it proved, but more is happening in this field now as you can see on our Home Page. A big announcement will follow soon.

We are very pleased to note that Bobbie Darbyshire’s book, Love, Revenge & Buttered Scones, is appearing in more and more book shops in London. Bobbie will be appearing in quite a few to either read or sign or both. Simon Varwell is also appearing across the country with Up The Creek Without A Mullet so please keep your eyes open for both authors appearing in your area.

Now coming close to delivery and to the launch in the St Magnus Centre, Kirkwall, Orkney Spirit by Liz Ashworth, illustrated by Selena Kuzman, will take your breath away.

Now please do take time to explore this web site including the ever changing blogspot.
