A ballet dancer ~ Anna Pavlova ~ suspended in mid-air. The dancer, wearing a dark tutu and a headdress, is held aloft by thick ropes that are attached to three large, bats. The ballerina has one leg extended and her arms outstretched. The scene is set against a blurred, dark green and brown background of trees and hills.

It’s bookshop day on 11th October. A day to celebrate your local bookshop.

You could even go totally bananas and buy my latest, Saltburn, which is about, after all, small businesses being assailed by big business. Well, that’s one thing it’s about…

booksaremybag.com/BookshopDay/...

The bookshop day poster. It asks you to choose bookshops:

Local jobs
Local economy
Local community
Real passion
Real people
Real conversations
Proper service
Perfect gifts
(and taxes paid!)

The cover of Saltburn. Candy stripes coming from a picture of a seal sitting under a beach umbrella.
