SUPPORT A GREAT CAUSE!
Would you like to help raise funds for the Scottish Refugee Council? If you buy one of my specially crocheted fox keyrings from Etsy, then all money will be donated to the Scottish Refugee Council to support their work helping those who have come to Scotland in search of a safer home.
Each fox keyring comes mounted on a glossy postcard with The Fox Girl and the White Gazelle Cover on the front. These make great little ethical gifts, and if you buy the book then twenty percent of my author royalties are also donated to the Scottish Refugee Council. So head to Amazon, Waterstones, Floris Books, or one of the independent bookstores like Hive, to order your copy today and help support a great cause.
Alina and her family have been forced to flee their country to escape war. Their whole lives packed into four rucksacks, they are faced with hostile border guards, meaning they must make a long and perilous journey to the coast.
Now, about to arrive on the small island of Trigos, Alina is hopeful of starting a new life away from danger, in a place where they’ll be welcome. But when a fishing boat almost sinks their dinghy and angry voices shout at them to go back, it seems that nowhere is safe.
Will Alina and her family ever find somewhere to call home again?
