Coleshill library - author talk - topics

Last night, Coleshill library hosted an author talk for an attentive audience of avid readers. As always, we had a giggle and much discussion regarding my publication journey and the people/experiences that I’ve encountered along the way. I even confessed that my parents nearly bought a particular house near the busy cross roads, which would have meant I’d have been their ‘local girl’, if plans had progressed.
