Come along to An Evening With Local Authors, on Saturday 1 October at Toast By The Coast, East Street, Shoreham-by-Sea.

I’ll be reading from my novel Exit Stategies and talking about my work, along with three other local writers: Sue Walker, MM Lee and Pam Weaver. The event starts at 7.30pm and admission costs £7.50 including a glass of wine and nibbles. Tickets are available online at www.shorehamwordfest.com or at 07522 957691.

This event is part of Shoreham WordFest, a four-day festival featuring local authors, actors, singers and playwrights.

Other events include a performance supper on 29 September at Chambers Bistro, a concert at St Mary de Haura church on 1 October, and a crime-writing workshop on 2 October. If you have any difficulty getting tickets for the reading or for any of the other events please contact me.

If you’re in or near West Sussex you might be interested to hear about the first ever Shoreham WordFest, a literary festival running from Thursday 29 September to Sunday 2 October.

This is a new venture organised by local writers and readers. We’ll be starting off with a small but perfectly formed set of events – play readings, new fiction, poetry – with a view to hosting a larger festival next year.

I hope to be involved with at least a couple of the events, and I’m doing everything I can to support this exciting project. Maybe if you’re nearby you can do the same? I’ll post the full schedule of events very soon, with details of how to get tickets.
