Dear Michael and Suse

Here are some of my favourite stories from Wales. I first published them several years ago - in 2015 in fact! I went on to record them with the help of Pauline’s son, Ren, when he was staying with us. He happens to be an accomplished and successful musician and he made sure that I had the right microphones etc. so the sound quality should be fairly good

It might feel a little strange getting a website page instead of a Christmas card but, after thinking about it, this seems the easiest and most convenient way of getting the recordings to you. The page and recordings will stay up indefinitely and you will always be able to listen to them by following this link https://www.michael-a-harvey.com/storiesformichaelandsuse

If there is ever a problem with the recordings or the link goes missing just let me know.

I hope you enjoyed these stories! I got the news just the other week that a book I wrote during lockdown has been accepted for publication by a publisher based in Wales called Cinnamon. The book is called Pig Boy and you can find out more about it from the links on at the top and bottom of this page. It is based on the story of Culhwch and Olwen from the Mabinogion.

I start working with an editor next year and publication is currently scheduled for October 2023. I’ll let you both know when it comes out. Wishing you both a peaceful and joyful Christmas! Much love from us both!

MIchael and Pauline
