    Four featured artists. Valerie is sat in a studio behind a microphone and is wearing headphones. She has dark hair in twists and is sat with her arms folded and a focussed expression on her face. Campbell is stood in front of a red background and is looking into the camera. He has a shaved head, glasses and a septum ring. He is wearing a black shirt, multicoloured bow tie and grey hat. Lejla has a dark bob haircut and green glasses and is looking off camera smiling. Alan is stood in front of a brick wall and smiling at the camera. He has short grey hair in a quiff style and facial hair. He is wearing glasses and a denim styled shirt. In the centre of the image are the words: The Coast Is Queer Online, 2021.

    I’ve lost my concentration in lockdown & haven’t been able to finish a book in months. Downloaded Still Life last week & devoured it. Finished it in 3 days. Thank you for restoring my reading mojo!
