New Book!

❤️Hooded: Cosy Romance is now available❤️
This issue of Hooded is filled with love: timeless and inspiring. Sometimes it is a love which has been celebrated for many years, sometimes it is a new awakening, and sometimes it is the rekindling of an old romance. We asked writers to think about romance in an older generation – there are lots of romance stories for the twenty-something generation – and the results have been beautiful.
On reading, you will find pieces of writing designed to celebrate the greatest and most powerful of human emotions: Love.

We are thrilled to introduce our fabulous new author, Elizabeth McKay, and her magical book, "All the Time in the World"!

Elizabeth still lives in the small Ayrshire town she grew up in and likes to get involved in numerous community activities – Tai Chi, art, fitness classes. She’s had a go at all of them with variable degrees of success. But her favourite thing is leading the brilliant book group at the library which often entails outings to local bookshops or places they’ve been reading about. She is the author of three
picture books and has had hundreds of short stories and articles published in magazines, as well as being the winner of several writing awards. She believes the best thing about being a children’s author is visiting schools and hopefully helping to instil in children a love of books. When she’s not doing writerly things she’s most likely to be found with her feet up, reading a book and eating
cake - all at the same time.
