Choc-Lit present an evening of Romance at the Big Green Bookshop
Our hosts tonight are Choc-Lit who publish a delicious selection of romantic fiction for women. Quality stories with a romance at their heart.
You will have a chance to listen to two of Choc-Lit's authors at the shop, whilst enjoying a delicous selection of chocloates provided by the publisher (and wine provided by the bookshop).
The authors are
Henriette Gyland
Henriette Gyland's debut novel Up Close, transposes the wintery palette of popular Scandinavian crime dramas to the North Norfolk coast. Chosen as December 2012 Debut Book of the Month by Lovereading and compared favourably to Nora Roberts by The Bookseller, Up Close is a sinister thriller and dark romance that promises to keep you turning pages well into the night.
Christina Courtenay
Christina Courtenay is an award-winning author of historical romantic fiction. Growing up and traveling extensively in the far east has had a strong influence on Christina's brand of adventurous tales about women who crossed cultures, continents and oceans in search of family, home and love. Her latest book, The Gilded Fan, is about Midori, the daughter of an English woman and a samurai warlord, who is forced to leave Japan and sail for Plymouth to seek out distant family she thinks of as barbarians.
You will have an opportunity to hear short readings from both authors and join a Q & A about writing and getting different types of romantic fiction published.
Tickets are £3 available here ( http://www.biggreenbookshop.com/stuff-you-might-like-/ticket-for-a-romantic-evening-at-the-big-green-bookshop/prod_617.html ) and redeemable against the purchase of any books by either author.
There's news of next month's Big Green Bookswap on our website too, which is a Local Author Special.
Hope you have a great week and see you soon,
Simon, Tim, Katie and Tara
