Yvonne Battle-Felton

Do I know any cover singers near Leeds? I’m throwing myself a birthday party/book party on Halloween with readings and a ghost story open mic. My budget is £150. I’d like jazz and R&B music. If you’d like to share a 3-5 minute ghost story, let me know #birthday #leeds #party

For as long as I can remember I’ve told myself I am not a 5 AM writer. I’m challenging myself to break this myth or to see if it’s true. I’m writing from 5:05 (or so)-6 AM (BST/GMT). You can join me in zoom or write with me from wherever/whenever you are. If you'd like the link, let me know #Writers

Well deserved! Curdle Creek was definitely creepy, and the story was unique! It's a wonderful book, well worth re-reading.

Thank you for reading it and for the kind words! I loved writing this book and I’m super excited about the award!

"Yvonne Battle-Felton’s Curdle Creek is a fever-dream odyssey that begins in an all-Black town governed by nightmarish traditions and spirals into something far more expansive and terrifying." Read our Review of Curdle Creek by Yvonne Battle-Felton @whyiwrite.bsky.social buff.ly/TpVNzQu
