NEW MEMOIR FOR SUMMER 2021
50 words for Love in Swedishby Stephen Keeler
Keeler has written a deeply companionable book about the ways we know each other and the ways we can fall in love with places not our own. Deft, detailed, gently humorous and kind; it’s just enough. Lagom, in fact.
A L Kennedy From bageri (bakery) to vitsippa (wood anemone) via Björn Borg, Saab and smörgåsbord, Stephen Keeler delights us with 50 words that capture the essence of his love affair with Sweden.
With a poet’s eye for the telling detail, Stephen Keeler has brought the Sweden of my childhood vividly to life in this charming and idiosyncratic memoir... a joy from beginning to end.

NEW FICTION FOR 2021
Lincoln Lightfoot and the Eccentrifuge
A novel by P.S. Lightfoot
|
A glorious, tumbling, effervescent tale.
Ne’er-do-well? Undoubtedly.
Showman? Unashamedly. Inventor? Undeniably. But saviour of a tribal nation? Lincoln Lightfoot is obsessed with making his fortune, but he’s knocked off course by the irresistible Pheby who is on a mission to save her people, the vanishing Chocapaw nation.
Can Lincoln find it in himself to act for the greater good? The battle of wills intensifies until only Lincoln’s hair-raising invention can determine who will prevail and who will perish. Very engaging and hard to put down, atmospheric and exciting, and with a pleasing quirkiness.
