Sooo looking forward to reading this...

We've got lots to share with you this week as we approach the launch of our second book of the year - HIRETHOW.

Written by Clare Howdle, and edited by , this incredible collection of life-spanning stories takes its title from the plural of the Cornish word ‘hireth’.

We'll be sharing snippets of these stories with you throughout the week to give you a taste of Clare's exceptional writing and engaging narratives, so be prepared to be transported into the flux point of 10 characters lives...

And if you like what you read preorders of Clare's collection are available on our website now https://hermitagepress.co.uk/products/hirethow
And copies will be available at the launch on the 5th of September, or on Amazon, in Waterstones and Cornish Bookshops from the 8th of September...
