NEWS – Flint Country makes EABA Shortlist

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.
