Congratulations, and Merry Christmas to all!

EDITOR: Season’s Greetings !!!

I am delighted to say Congratulations to the Vincentian authors who have released new publications recently.

Dr. Richard Byron-Cox “The Story of Paulene Bramble: Book one: Spring’s Blossom and Young Thorns,” Mr. Renwick Rose “Reflections” a three-book collection on Women’s Struggles for Justice and Equity ; We Grandparents’ Backpay – Struggle for Reparatory Justice ; and Reclaiming Our Independence and Defending Democracy. Frankie McIntosh and Ray Allen “Frankie McIntosh and the art of the Soca Arranger” – They will add to the Vincentian Literary collection and, by extension, that of the Caribbean and beyond.

I want to wish them all the best with their books.

It is wonderful to be able to have this reference material available especially when we reflect on the progress being made in this area.

Can you remember the first book that you read that was written by a Vincentian author or a Caribbean author ?
It is encouraging to think of the effect that these books will have on the society. I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous 2025. I would also like to take the opportunity to express condolences to the family of Mr. Shelley Clarke and to thank all in the newspaper business who so willingly keep us informed and publish the thoughts and ideas of so many of us from time to time. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.

Cheryl Phills King.
