I’m delighted to announce that Flint Country has been shortlisted in the General Non-fiction category for the East Anglia Book Awards 2025. The winners of each of the seven categories will be announced early next year.
It’s gratifying to see it here, midstratum in this literary Jenga Tower, its spine a silvery – dare-I-say, flinty – grey. A distinct, rock-solid layer in a cliff face of words and syntax.
Anyway. Good luck to all of us.


Great news…congratulations ! I really enjoyed reading Flint and knew many of the locations you visited. I was recently back in North Norfolk and spent a happy few hours examining the flints on East Runton beach armed with the knowledge from your book!
Thank you very much, Anne. I’m glad that you enjoyed my book and East Runton beach.
I did indeed enjoy the book and the first line “our house is filled with stones” resonated with me from the outset!!
Dear Laurence
Congratulations! We keep our fingers crossed, and Siri and Selma tried some fairy magic for you to come up first.
Good luck 🍀🍀

Many thanks, Klausbernd. A little fairy magic would certainly be welcome.
Congratulations – must have been my review on Amazon that made the difference! M&C
