Woke up on 29 July to find ours was Book of the Day on The Guardian website.

I cannot recommend this too highly as a happy-making start to a Friday.

Co-author Olumide Popoola and I were on blog tour last week with our publisher, Meike Ziervogel, and now Peirene Press is posting links to lit blogs and reviews as they come in.

Monday 1 August 2016 is publication day. Pre-ordered copies of breach are already in the hands of readers including Lesley Ruda in San Francisco – that’s her photo above. This stage in the journey – what do readers make of our stories? – is scary, fascinating and, so far, most pleasing.

Easily one of the strongest works of fiction I have read this year. INWORDSANDINK

Fine, suspenseful fiction springing from human lives in extremis … rich with ambiguity. Kapka Kassabova
