Blurbs continue to come in for SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL so I figured I’d share them one at a time in no particular order. Today’s selection comes from @paulcornell.bsky.social because the final line just made me laugh. 😀 Too kind, Paul.
"A hard-worn romance that means it, the hope and commitment we need right now, from the best writer called P. Cornell." — Paul Cornell, author of I Walk With Monsters, the Lychford novels, and writer on Doctor Who
