E. Laurie-Long was my Great Uncle. I am lucky to have several signed copies, and the novel A Cumsha Cruise was dedicated to my Great Uncle.

Hey Claire
So we shared a great Uncle re Cumsha Cruise. You must be related to E Laurie Long via his wife,my great grandmother then.
Mum and I were going though the family tree and trying to work out who might be your parents and grand parents. Are you a Pankhurst??
Best regards
your long lost ‘cousin’ :o)
