An amazing gift, from the super talented Darren Craske:
“There is little in the way of relief in this harrowing first novel, but Smailes' sensitivity towards her subjects – and the poetry of her writing – carry the story.” Financial Times.
'Black Boxes is bursting with creative ideas, beautiful language, and unforgettable characters. You may need to be a little bit brave to read it - but if you take the plunge, you'll be very glad you did.'

Actually, the super talented one is the person that thought up the characters in the first place, all I did was draw them -you did all the hard work.
I *heart* you, my super-talented friend. I can’t thank you enough for this gift x
Brilliant! An absolutely fantastic portrayal of Tilly and Jesus (I am re-re-re-reading LBTH and it really is just right, isn’t it?). Darren Craske is indeed extremely talented!…but, I wanted to see Jesus’ feet!!! (why does that not sound normal?)…
All my love!
You sounding normal? Heeheehee… can’t believe you’re reading ‘Bees’ again” I so should name other characters in my other books after you
Any sign of Black Boxes in Italy yet? x
Oh, I wish I could be there. I will be there in spirit. Sadly I have much child-related weekendage going on.
Totally super amazing and you deserve it!
thank you x
Fabulous! I’m just straining my neck to see exactly how many beers he has lined up - wonder if he’ll ever get drunk???
I know the answer to that… tune in for a different novel…
