Happy publication day to Jenna Warren’s The Hometown Bookshop! This lovely summer read features a cosy bookshop, a quirky theatre group, heart-melting romance and a tight-knit community – what more could you want?
Now available in all good book shops!
Local author Sue Hutchinson will be at Book Corner on Saturday 29th November, 11am - 1pm, signing her two children's books featuring her Miniature Schnauzer, Bertie. The books are packed with colourful illustrations, and would make lovely gifts for children aged 2-5.
I'm looking forward to appearing at the first Whitby Lit Fest, on a Romance Panel with fellow authors Rowan Coleman and Jess Kitching.
Our event is on Friday 7th November, 12pm at The Whitby Mission & Seafarers Centre. Please come along! whitbylitfest.org.uk/event/f…
35. The Hometown Bookshop
The first of my efforts to read more light-hearted stuff than normal; a cozy vignette of small-town life with some real gut punches, featuring some of my fave elements: lots of dialogue; a play within a story and of course, bookshops. A triumph. 👏
If anyone is anywhere near @Hatchards Piccadilly, it looks like they have lots of copies of my new book, THE HOMETOWN BOOKSHOP. I'm over the moon to see them stocking it!
Thank you to Guisborough Bookshop and @BookCornerShop for hosting me on Sat. And a huge thank you to all the brave souls who ventured out in torrential rain. It was lovely to chat with you, I hope you enjoy my slices of Greek sunshine with secrets.
