Cold Enough to Freeze Cows author, Lorraine Jenkin, has been awarded a bursary by Literature Wales to buy childcare whilst she is writing her next novel. "With three young children, finding time to write for more than five minutes at a time was almost impossible," Lorraine told Honno. "I was struggling to get any continuity and although I had the story in my head, I was failing to get stuck in to it."
"I submitted the first few chapters and a synopsis to Academi (which is now Literature Wales) and I was amazed and delighted when they phoned to say I'd been awarded the money. I am now looking forward to having a little peace and quiet to get really involved"
Congratulations to Lorraine, who says she is trying hard to resist spending the money on shoes!
Honno contemporary novels by Lorraine Jenkin: Chocolate Mousse and Two Spoons; Eating Blackbirds; Cold Enough to Freeze Cows
We are saddened to hear of the death of Hafina Clwyd, Honno's first contemporary author, in hospital in Rhuthun on March 14, 2011. She was 74. Two of her books were published to mark Honno's launch, The Autobiography of Betsi Cadwaladr and Hafina's first volume of diaries, Buwch ar y Lein. Hafina was present at Honno's launch in Cardiff in 1987 and she remained supportive of Honno's work through the years.
We are thrilled to be able to announce that Lorraine's latest novel Cold Enough to Freeze Cows has been voted through to the finals of The People's Book Prize, a national competition aimed at discovering talented authors. Thanks to all of you who voted for her and we wish Lorraine all the best of luck, as she now becomes one of the finalists for the People's Book Prize Award.
Jenkin's reputation is growing with each book and deserves the support (of) the People's Book Prize County Times
