TIL that, among other vendors, there is a lolly vendor outside the Old Fire Station with soursop lollies

so if you’re not at the #BocasLitFest you’ve lost out

What am I doing for #5amwritersclub today? If you said prepping a lecture for a workshop I'm doing with @bocaslitfest.bsky.social, then you're correct! 😊

It's titled 'The Fictional Antagonist: Your Main Character's Best Friend.' Can't wait!

We transformed #TheWritersCentre into a zine studio for #BocasAcademy’s Crafting Zines 101. Guided by Kriston Chen, participants learned multiple folding options, were introduced to the Risograph, and created their very own zines! More photos at: facebook.com/bocaslitfest...

In her new novel A House for Miss Pauline, @dmccaulay.bsky.social brings to life a 99-year-old Jamaican woman whose house in rural Mason Hall conceals many secrets — from the distant and the not-too-distant past.
