I heard @ajwoodhouse.bsky.social read this in tribute to John Brantingham at the Flash Fiction Festival. I looked for it but couldn't find it. Fortunately, the day we left, I finally met Alison (so lovely) and she told me where it was. And, in case you need some magic today, here it is. (1st piece)

Attention any UK peeps who wish to buy Ancestral Virgins. Amazon UK is quoting ridiculously long delivery dates, which I hope will soon be fixed. For now, I suggest heading over to the websites for Waterstones or Foyles. www.waterstones.com/.../term/anc... www.foyles.co.uk/search?term=... Thanks!

Photo shows the cover of Pat Foran’s book “Songs from the Blimp Ruins” held against a window giving onto a wet deck and green grass and trees beyond. The book cover is beige and within a black framed rectangle is a black sun and a black figure arms held aloft, red heart shining through. Title in black letter above.
