When Kevin and Hetha Duffy founded independent publisher Bluemoose (@ofmooseandmen.bsky.social) from their Hebden Bridge living room in 2006, “it was just: let’s go from year to year,” Kevin Duffy explained, not knowing that by the year 2026 it would have a clutch of awards and nominations 👇

2020 #77 Staying in the realm of @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social and now it's the second novel by @sharonduggal.bsky.social . The uplifting tale of a young, homeless man who meets and loses track of a friend then sets off across the city in search of her and finds so much more. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🖋️📚 #booksky
2020 #63 Amongst the disruption of 2020 I found myself looking at many small publishers for new reading matter and @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social was one of the very best I came across. This excellent novel set in the early 1980s West Midlands was an early find. See alt text for more. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🖋️📚 #booksky
