This week is our first themed week of the year and, after a vote among ourt members, we are focusing on writers and books who explore LGBTQ+ issues.

I asked for recommendations and here are some of those that I've received.

The Whale Tattoo by Jon Ransom - "a raw and brilliant read."
Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield.
Lifting Off: A Life in Freefallby Karen Mcleod.
One Last Song: you're never too old to change your tune by Nathan Evans.
Paul Burston’s autobiography, We Can Be Heroes: A Survivor's Story.
Young Mungo by Douglas Stewart.
White Cloud Over Purple by JP Seabright (poetry).

What would you recommend?

Also, any writers who'd like their work featured please let me know.

Tomorow, I'll be featuring the work of Susie Williamson, one of our long-standing members who makes a wonderful contribution to our community.
