Author visits
I’m very excited to be visiting these three Yorkshire bookshops, The Book Lounge, Kirkby Lonsdale and The Stripey Badger, Grassington and Limestone Books, Settle, with two fellow authors in August and October (on Bookshop Day) this year.
And there may be more, so please keep a look out!
Our books are connected as they are all set in the North of England, all feature characters with secret identities and also have sea settings!
Please come along and visit these great bookshops, chat about the books, and find out more – and if you’ve any questions beforehand – please just ask!
The Jiddy Vardy books are available in the place they are set at The Higgledy Pig in Robin Hood’s Bay and the Whitby Bookshop.
