Join Robin Driscoll, author of 'Rough Music', at the East Grinstead Bookshop on the 5th August. Robin will be available to answer questions about his book and sign your own copy. 25 million missing. A Russian hitman getting closer. And an oddly elusive blue-tailed falcon. Rab MacBain is in trouble. He's stolen money from the Russian mob, his girlfriend is apparently sleeping with his boss... and there's Stink Bug, a hitman, who is seeking to acquaint the Scottish-American banker with his Russian-made weapon. Returning to his birthplace on the remote Scottish island of Garg, Rab unravels his own family mystery before gaining the trust - and the support - of the locals. But what will happen when his past life laps at the shore of his new home? And can his new plans really help to save the island and himself? Robin Driscoll, of Alas Smith and Jones and the Mr Bean series of films and animations, brings his own sense of zany humour to his first novel, 'Rough Music', a veritable mash-up of City bankers and salty-dogs with a hint of Russian thrown in for taste. "A cracking breathless plot with every sentence stiletto-heel sharp and witty." Richard Curtis, writer of Blackadder and Love Actually. "A subtle, slick, swift-moving journey into the sinister shadowlands of finance and corruption. [...] moves so easily between different worlds, be it nature's wilderness or the more dangerous badlands of our cities." Paul Doherty OBE, author of the Brother Athelstan and Hugh Corbett mystery novels.

Daniel is an only child ... no, he's lying ... he has a sister, Alice, who has a dolly fixation; Dan is sure she is an alien. So, Dan has a few problems, none insurmountable, until his friend, Benji, introduces him to the find of the century - a derelict bee hive which could become a den. Of course, such a simple thing is never so simple and when Dan finds a map well, all kinds of things just go horribly wrong. For example - Alice noses her nosey way in and two strange men suddenly turn up wanting what's theirs - and then there's the bank, too. 'The Beehive' by Simon Adepetun is a tight little sharp-witted bumble through a short period in Dan's young life. ‘What's a bumble?' - ‘Shut up, Alice!'

Gabriel Chudleigh is at the Assiniboia & District Public Library in Canada, signing copies of her book 'The Joy of Colour'. Not only that, but you will be able to join this brilliant artist for a painting/drawing session afterwards. 'The Joy of Colour' is more than just a simple colouring book. It contains seeds of introspection and inspiration to aid in your own creative process, to help you feel that special joy from this unique activity, which I hope in some small way brings added meaning to your life. The joy of colouring has always been such a healing and satisfying past-time. The book includes inspirational ideas from my original artwork. So follow your intuition and make each piece uniquely yours! Perhaps you will find as I did, a new found ability you didn't realize you had, and thereby find the pleasure in many happy hours of making special memories with your family and friends.
