I know Cerys Havana very well since she was a young girl. If you intend going tell her that I said helo, she’ll be more than pleased to speak welsh to you @owen-mcknight :grinning:

@Betterlatethan i just got very excited. Is this you? My mum is staying this week and she is reading “GĂȘm Beryglus”

Yes, that’s me. Before the first books in the series were published, there was an invitation on the forum for people to apply to review a book online before it appeared in print. I applied, and I reviewed this one. I am ridiculously proud of having my review printed on the back.

Ooh, I’ve seen Cerys Hafana perform a couple of times recently - once at TafĆ”yl and then in the Lleisiau Eraill festival in Aberteifi. She’s absolutely wonderful! Very highly recommended
