James Turner
James Turner stands in the long tradition of sonnet poets, but there is a surprising amount of variation in both the form and the content of his sonnets. James is already well-known as a performer in the West Country, but this book will bring him to the attention – and admiration – of readers far and wide.

Sadly, all readings and launches scheduled for the next few months have had to be cancelled or postponed because of the corona virus. We look forward to getting back to our public events when life eventually returns to something like normal.
In the meantime, readers may be interested to have news of the latest novel by Alwyn Marriage: ‘The Elder Race’.
