Happy New Year!
This is a new monthly slot where Scattered Authors can celebrate their publications and advertise anything they've got going on.
Congratulations to Eva Wong Nava on the UK release of Dancing Dumplings For My One And Only from Walker Books on January 2nd 2025.
A little girl is shown how to make dumplings by her grandma and they absolutely love the ritual of cooking together: We roll. We fill. We pinch and pleat. We cook! When Grandma gets sick, the little girl takes her turn to make dumplings and help soothe her grandma back to wellness – channelling as much love and comfort as she can into her cooking. Luckily, delicious homemade dumplings hold a lot of goodness inside.

Scattered Authors events
The 'Spotlight on' zooms organised by Camilla Chester have a change of day and will continue on the second Tuesday of the month, 7:30pm-8:30pm. Please contact Camilla if you'd like to offer your expertise.
The Folly Farm winter retreat is happening later this month. It's fully booked, with a mix of regulars and new faces, which is very exciting.
Anyone wanting to organise an event, a retreat, use the zoom account etc, you are all most welcome to do so. Post in the Facebook group or ask Tracy Darnton to send a message to the email list.
