Springtime in Orkney

News Archive

Posted by RLD on 21st March 2010

As March 2010 speeds towards its close the Highland airs are warming, spring flowers appearing and the birds and bees seem to be getting ideas. We have been productive at Sandstone Press as well.

On Friday 26th Liz Ashworth and Selena Kuzman will be launching ‘ORKNEY SPIRIT: Food journeys with Liz Ashworth’ at the St Magnus Centre in Kirkwall. Everyone is welcome although invitations have gone out, so please come along if you can. The book is stunningly beautiful and the whole assembly is the first of its kind. Stories of the islands sit with food recipes among Selena’s amazing artwork. I am pleased to say that Selena will be present, making time between her arrival from Slovenia where she has done much of the work, and preparations for her RSA show in Edinburgh. Do come!

Bobbie Darbyshire’s Love, Revenge & Buttered Scones is gaining in reputation and popularity wherever it is read. Bobbie herself is doing many readings and signings in and around London and we are delighted to publish this wonderful London based author. Simon Varwell’s UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A MULLET is also doing extremely well. Simon completed his launch tour just a few days ago in Glasgow. He is a natural reader of his own work and all his appearances have been successful and entertaining.
