SUMMARY:Amanda Huggins
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of storytelling and romance as we chat to award-winning author\, Amanda Huggins about her new novella\, The Blue of You. \nThe perfect read in the run-up to Christmas\, The Blue of You captures the experiences of small town youth and the conflicted feelings that wait for those who choose to return. Set against the backdrop of our very recognisable north-east coastline\, Amanda’s novella is a bitter-sweet and relatable story of one woman’s grief\, her loves and the place she calls home. \n  \nAbout the Book\nEvery Christmas Eve\, Janey Shaw is reminded of the tragic death of her schoolfriend\, Alice\, and the untidy ending of her relationship with Rory Brook\, her first love. When Janey leaves London to return to her hometown on the North East Coast of England\, the ghosts of her unresolved past lie in wait. \nThere\, Janey meets a coble fisherman\, Tom Inglewood\, and admires his ambitions to preserve the traditional way of life in their community and to stop second home owners from painting over the town’s heritage. Can she start to build a new life and finally paint over her own past? Or will she have to confront her ghosts as Christmas draws closer? \n  \nAbout the Author\nAmanda Huggins is the author of the award-winning novellas All Our Squandered Beauty and Crossing the Lines\, as well as seven collections of short stories and poetry. Her latest novella\, The Blue of You\, was released by Northodox Press in October.  Amongst others\, her work has also been published by Harper’s Bazaar\, Mslexia\, The Telegraph and the Guardian. Three of her short stories have been broadcast on BBC radio. \nShe has won numerous awards\, including three Saboteur Awards for fiction and poetry\, the Colm Toibin International Short Story Award\, the H E Bates Short Story Prize and the BGTW New Travel Writer of the Year. \nAmanda grew up on the North Yorkshire coast and has strong family connections to the North York Moors area. She now lives near Leeds where she works as a freelance editor.
