I love libraries, so it was an honour to donate a copy of my new book, I Am the Mask Maker and other stories to the library in Abergavenny. It gave me an excuse to visit the library in its new home in the town hall building. What a fabulous location! There are enormous new windows overlooking the market hall, where you can sit and read. And only a stone’s throw from the centre of town. I was very fond of the old building but this new location brings the library right into the heart of things.

This is a photo of Claire Cross accepting my book into its new home. Thank you Claire, for always being so welcoming and supportive to authors. We’re hoping to arrange a reading event sometime in the new year.
