🎤 This afternoon I had the pleasure of being in conversation at @SturminsterF with @WerranKate about her book ‘Black Yanks: Defending Leroy Henry in D-Day Britain’. We had a great turn out & the sun shone again ☀️
We're really looking forward to this event at Sturminster Newton Literary Festival.
Look forward to meeting everyone at the @SturminsterF this week. @penswordbooks @Frontline_Books @HistoryofWarMag Forgive the Stormtrooper helmet photobombing me!

We are saddened to hear that local author Sophie Kinsella has died. When we started the literary festival in Sturminster Newton, Sophie wished us the very best of luck and was very encouraging. WE have gone from strength to strength. Rest in Peace.

Lovely 4* review. Really interesting that a very minor character caught this reader's imagination. The good news is that I’ve started planning out a sequel to The Hanging Hettie Gale, and now I'll make sure Finbar gets a bit more prominence (and James too!)
We loved having Tess Burnett and Jo Durrant at Sturminster Newton Literary Festival yesterday. Such a brilliant discussion and a wonderful book.
Enjoyed a lovely first visit to Sturminster Newton to be in conversation with @tessburnett56 at @SturminsterF - a really warm and engaged audience, lovely to talk to Tess and a beautiful place to visit ☺️
