Local Author Showcase
Tunbridge Wells is not short of writing talent – please join us to hear from seven of our fabulously talented local writers:
Heather Russell Kay – “Whispers through the Forest” a haunting and tender collection of short stories where classic fairy-tale elements are reimagined and which explore what it means to endure, adapt, and keep believing — even when the path is dark.
Adam Preston – “Tosser” an irreverent tale of lost, wounded, and directionless men, the feisty ambitious women who inspire and shape them, and a dinosaur running rampant on an obscure fringe of literary London.
Leonora Langley – “Let the Souls of Our Children Sing: Educating Hearts and Minds” outlines the vital importance of nurturing emotional well- being in the young. Her book has been described as “... a must-read for everyone... every sentence is gold-dust”
Mark Freeth – “Ausgang – Scarred Lips” music history and memoir; after forming the classic 80's goth band Ausgang, Mark became a freelance music journalist, then concert promoter, artist manager and label owner. Mark is now once more performing with Ausgang at Festivals all over Europe.
Verity Thornhill – “Whispers from the past”; a romance writer from England with a love for small towns, second chances, and the quiet magic of everyday moments; Verity is an emerging voice in sweet, small-town romances.
Nicholas Holbrook – “Set-Up and Punch” the story of a frustrated, would-be comic. Jasper Green is a naturally funny man, who desperately wants to become a stand-up comedian. "Set-up and Punch" tells the tale of how Jasper tries to fulfill his lifelong ambition.
Matthew Frank – “If I Should Die” begins with vicious, apparently motiveless attacks on down and outs in South London. But when one of the homeless victims dies from his wounds, it's murder.
