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:

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
