	The Gift of Honey to be published by bluechrome in July 2008. see cover "The Gift of Honey is a true curiosity, with its delight in lore and unscholarly learning. Of local appeal, yes, but by being so intensely local it becomes much more than that - the flavour of the place this writing gives is richer and more faithful than most of what appears in the holiday bookshops... unusual enough to become a minor cult."
