Ravenglass came out last week, and we would love to hear from anyone who's started reading it.
Here are some of the quotes we've had so far; our favourite is still whoever called it "Baroque and Roll" 😍
Have you checked out this 1700s gender-fluid adventure novel yet?

Yes, as @northodoxpress.bsky.social says, thanks so much to all who posted photos of Hostile Environments in launch week, and it's got me wondering, what's the collective noun for a group of Hostile Environments? A threat? A riot? A murder? 🤔
Huge thank you if you've tagged us or Jan Kaneen in pictures of her brilliant new collection, Hostile Environments, so far!
