A rare London outing for myself, even rarer for @ambroseparry.bsky.social, but with @damedenisemina.bsky.social and @allangaw.bsky.social in the mix, the @standrewsbookfest.bsky.social should be a stoater.

Interview: Allan Gaw
The Five By Five Interview with Allan Gaw Allan Gaw came to my attention, as I suspect was the case for a lot of people, when he bagged the Bloody Scotland Debut Prize in 2024 - I'd read three of the four shortlistees and figured it would be a tough decision for the judges; the one I hadn't read was Allan's, The Silent House Of Sleep.
