We're so excited to share that A.T. Qureshi will be joining us on the 21st of January to celebrate the release of her debut cosy romantasy, The Baby Dragon Cafe! When Saphira opened up her café for baby dragons and their humans, she wasn’t expecting it to be so difficult to keep the fires burning. It turns out, young dragons are not the best magical animals to keep in a café, and replacing all that burnt furniture is costing Saphira more than she can afford from selling dragon-roasted coffee. Aiden is a local gardener, and local heart-throb, more interested in his plants than actually spending time with his disobedient baby dragon. When Aiden walks into Saphira’s café, he has a genius idea – he'll ask Saphira to train his baby dragon, and he'll pay her enough to keep the café afloat. Saphira knows her happy-go-lucky attitude isn’t Aiden’s cup of tea, but everywhere she goes, Aiden seems to follow. Has Saphira finally found the answer to the baby dragon cafe’s problems, and maybe a little love along the way, too? Information Source: Waterstones | eventbrite

Since last season I have had a baby (!) and am techinically on paternity leave but the one exception is my other baby which is this baby of a night at our new home ARK Cliftonville with Special Guest Jasmine Gardosi As well as some chat and performance from me and Jasmine, there will be an open mic where you are welcome to come and perform a poem or song (either your own or Something Borrowed (!) from someone else).
