Many thanks to Non Tudur (Golwg magazine) for the recent publicity, and for the Book Council of Wales interview.

Diolch i Non Tudur am yr erthygl ddiweddar am fy nghyfrol newydd yng nghylchgrawn Golwg ac am y sgwrs gyda Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru:

Excited to see Porth in the shops this week. My first publication for adults, a collection of interlinked stories around Cardiff. I enjoyed writing this book so much.

Cyffrous fod fy nghyfrol gynta’ i oedolion, Porth, newydd gael ei chyhoeddi gan wasg Y Lolfa. Casgliad o straeon dinesig sy’ ‘ma – ma’n gyfrol sy’n gorwedd rhwla rhwng nofel a chyfrol o straeon byrion. Wedi joio ‘sgwennu hon.

Chuffed to see Mira (Atebol) is in the top three in the current books chart again, keeping company with two other books that I’ve recently adapted: ‘Does Dim yn Gyflymach na’r Tsita’ (Rily) and ‘Yr Ardd Anweledig’ (Broga Books). Thanks also to the Welsh Libraries for the recent interview regarding my writing processes.

Hyfryd gweld ‘Mira a’r Trip Ysgol’ (Atebol) yn y siartiau a dwy gyfrol arall dwi wedi eu haddasu’n ddiweddar hefyd!

I enjoyed creating this layered and nostalgic cover for Atebol recently. Gwreiddio is a collection of short stories about rural life in Wales.

Braf tu hwnt oedd cael fy ngwadd gan gwmni Atebol i baratoi’r clawr ar gyfer eu cyfrol arfaethedig o straeon byrion gan amryw o awduron, Gwreiddio. Yn y siopau’n fuan!

It was a privelidge to contribute images to this gem of a book, edited by Rhiannon Heledd Williams.

Hyfryd oedd cyfrannu’n weledol at y gyfrol arbennig yma o stabl Gwasg y Bwthyn.

Lovely to see this positive review of Bach a Mawr in the current Barn magazine. Also, thanks to Bethan Gwanas for her kind review on her recent blog:

Diolch am yr ymateb cynnes i Bach a Mawr:

Here’s a quick insight into the process of creating my collages ….

Cipolwg fan hyn o’r broses greadigol.

Chuffed that my latest book, Bach a Mawr, has been chosen as Book of the Month by the Book Council for July. Even more chuffed to see that it’s reached number one in the monthly sales chart!

Dwi’n falch iawn fod Bach a Mawr wedi cael derbyniad gwresog hyd yma.
