OTHER NEWS:

Mike Parker’s ‘All the Wide Border’ is a fascinating follow-up to his widely-acclaimed ‘On the Red Hill’. 

This time, Mike is the perfect guide to something close to all our hearts – the Welsh-English border. 

He explores the very idea of what a frontier is with a personal journey through the places, among the people and across the centuries of the divide between England and Wales.

It’s also publication day for the paperback edition of Clare Mackintosh’s thriller, ‘The Last Party’. 

If you haven’t yet had the chance to meet Clare’s new Welsh detective, DC Ffion Morgan, you’re in for a treat, with north Wales a stunning backdrop for a fiendish crime and plenty of plot twists and turns right to the end.
