Saltire Awards!
The Saltires are Scotland’s national books awards so it feels very special to be shortlisted for Fiction of the Year. And in such fine company across all categories!
Past winners include Muriel Spark and Alasdair Gray!
Other shortlisted authors across the categories include Andrew O'Hagan, Cal Flynn and Hannah Lavery - all folk I have interviewed over the years. So many good books!
So, thank you to the judges and the Saltire Society. Congratulations to everyone shortlisted and thanks to every reader. Such a good reading list!
