π³οΈβπThrilling news!!!π I am so excited to announce that KILLING JERICHO - featuring crime fictionβs FIRST queer Traveller detective - has been longlisted for the #PolariPrize - the UKβs first and largest LGBTQ+ book award! So honoured to be on this incredible list! π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈπ΅οΈββοΈπ‘
Such a wonderful evening. If you get the chance to attend Polari Literary Salon do! Very soul enriching. I thought VG Lee was bonkers but Barbara Brownskirt - Penge's Poet Laureate is another level. Kostya Tsolakis poetry was incredibly thought provoking and Louise Beech/Louise Swanson was amazing. Such kind giving souls!
Here are some highlights from Polari Literary Salon at Propaganda in Hull with Louise Beech/Louise Swanson Kostya Tsolakis VG Lee and Barbara Brownskirt - Penge's Poet Laureate youtu.be/MmbZLh-f8jE?siβ¦
