On the 16th of April C. D. Field will be holding a book signing at the Guisborough Bookshop from 11am until 2pm.  Whilst dealing with troubles at home, year seven student Emily is also having to adjust to life at secondary school, which itself comes with its own problems, from trying to fit in yet still staying true to herself, to befriending those in a similar situation. Emily wishes she could go to her brother for help, but he's got his own problems to deal with now, that will ultimately lead to a run in with the law. Will Emily be able to stay true to herself and be strong, even when a friend turns against her and she too becomes a victim of bullying? C.D. Field spent her formative years in West Yorkshire indulging her passion for horses, dogs and teaching. Following university, where she read law, management and education, she enjoyed a varied and senior, academic career teaching nationally and internationally for over twenty years. She now lives and writes in North Yorkshire.

Alan Ash, the author of Conversations of a Killer, will be signing copies of his book at Waterstones Falkirk on Saturday 16th April at 1pm.  You will be able to meet the author and speak with him on his gripping tale. A story full of plot twists and violence stemming from the mind of Nelson Harrop, a mind tracked and investigated by Glasgow's finest.

Roger Openshaw and Adrian Phillips will be presenting 'The War That Was Not' at Ashurst Public Library on Wednesday 13th April from 18:00. The story takes place in New Zealand during 1938 at the time of the Munich Crisis. The main characters are Standish Steele, a World War One veteran and stalwart of Wellington Society, and his beautiful wife, Millicent. As the events of 1938 unfold in Wellington against a background of growing unrest in Europe and the vacillation of the British Government, the reader is drawn into a fascinating tale of courage and self-sacrifice, greed, pride and vanity. What might have happened had Great Britain continued with its policy of appeasement and New Zealand alone had declared war on Germany? This is no dry political history, however. Human behaviour at its worst, as well as its best, runs rampant here, with flashbacks to the Great War adding flavour to a satisfying read. With unexpected twists and turns this book will grab readers and hold their attention to the end.

David McMichael will be signing copies of his historical fiction 'Shadows in a Photograph' on Monday 11th April at Accrington Library.
