USED TO BE
'The stories in Used to Be are the work of a dazzling writer' - Nuala O'Connor
'Baines reminds me of a scratch DJ, taking a conventional format and messing with it, expertly,
to give the audience a whole new experience... Highly readable, thought-provoking and with beautiful use of language, this collection is a rich and unexpected delight.' - Bookmuse
