Today's blog is a bit of a challenge... Next week, there is an exhibition in Thurso Art Gallery (it's the back room of the library, for any people in the area who are are interested in going along!) entitled Caithness Connections . I've had a little sneak peek on social media and been amazed by the variety of ideas the artists have used to consider the theme. It set me thinking about how differently people see their home, and how greatly it differs to how other people see it. Caithness is not a well-explored area, either in tourism (although this has improved since the NC500 route became popular) or in the arts, as its near neighbour Orkney. This is not always a bad thing - the Orkney which exists now is a far cry from the one I knew as home in my childhood thanks to the insane amount of cruise ship traffic, but when you say Caithness to most people from outwith Northern Scotland, most of them have no idea where it is if they've even heard of it.

The Crowvus Book Blog is run by three people... here we are! Left to right: Clemency, Judith and Virginia. We run a small independent publishing company called Crowvus (check out our website here). Crowvus publishes a range of fiction and non fiction, and runs a ghost story competition every year. Submissions start in May and end in September for those of you who love to write a chilling tale! But here's a little bit about us... Virginia is a historical fiction author, and runs the #HistFicThursday blog posts. She has published several books but, when she isn't writing, she is busy teaching music, or going for walks with her camera. Book List Judith is a gothic horror and young adult author, and is running series of blog posts on #HistFicThursdays, focussing on gothic horror. When she's not writing, Judith teaches English at the local High School, and making amazing crafts for the County Show. Book List Clemency writes middle grade fantasy adventure. That's it. It's a very specific genre, yes, but it's also great fun! When she's not writing, she works at a local primary school and enjoys spending time in the garden with her quail, chickens and spaniels (not together, as one spaniel would dearly love to eat the chickens). Book List If you would like any of us to review your book, then please take a look at our review policy. |
