Thank You, BBC News

A heartfelt thank you to the BBC for the beautiful article on The Hollow Vale and its Pride Month launch. It means the world to see a queer-led fantasy novel rooted in the myths and landscapes of the West Country receive this kind of recognition.

As an independent author, moments like these feel like magic. Thank you for spotlighting stories that centre queerness, belonging, and imagination — and for reminding readers that our voices have always belonged in the heart of our oldest traditions.

Warmest thanks,
Alexander Paul Burton
