Sounds like everyone had a great time at the launch of ‘Storm’ by Alex Hubbard last night!

A wonderful evening launching Alex Hubbard's Aberystwyth-based novel 'Storm' at Bank Vault Aberystwyth last night. We sold out of copies!

Many thanks to Alex, his publisher Seren Books, Amy Grandvoinet for her interview with Alex, and Tai Haf Heb Drigolyn for the evocative music (and storm-themed sou'westers...).

More copies of 'Storm' are on their way to the shop soon. A perfect read for anyone who misses their student days in the town (or simply being battered by the wind on the prom).
