SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Come and meet author Helen Liebling
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet writer and activist Helen Liebling and pick up a signed copy – Nalule’s Travels and Adventures. \nHelen carries out research with survivors of conflict and post-conflict sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and torture including refugees\, in the African continent and United Kingdom. Since 1998 Helen has worked in Uganda\, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo\, Rwanda\, Liberia\, and South Africa. \nDr Helen Liebling’s early life of disruption and family separation led to a passion for advocating for the rights of those who survived human rights violations. Her first musical trip to Uganda shaped Helen’s life. She developed a love for Africa\, her people\, traditional music and travel. Enchanting musical stories including wild dancing to 21-key xylophone music in rural Eastern Uganda (Busoga) a chickens on a bus and entertaining in the bars of Kampala and travelling to some of the most beautiful places in the world including African deserts\, mountains and waterfalls. \nShe discovered a love for wild swimming and hopes for the future. Fascinating\, emotional\, and uplifting; This book is a captivating narrative of hardship\, resilience\, and triumph against the odds\, told with passion and clarity by a woman who never gave up! \nThe road in Goma was black\, and rugged\, and difficult to walk on. Benoit\, my Congolese colleague and friend\, informed me that this was due to the fact the volcano had erupted near the town some years back\, and the lava had covered the streets. The streets were heaving with people wearing stunning\, bright colours and bustling with energy\, whilst navigating the spiky road resulting from the volcanic ash. In the distance\, I observed the cause of the road problems and the volcano towering above the town. What was it that led me to this lively region of Africa? All will be revealed.

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Come and meet author Angie Moon
DESCRIPTION:Angie Moon is a classic rock historian based in England. She is the founder of the classic rock blog The Diversity of Classic Rock\, which is all about the diverse people and sounds of classic rock. She started the blog in 2015 initially as a school project\, but found that she loved researching and writing about classic rock so much that she kept writing about it since then and the blog has expanded beyond the original scope of talking about classic rock musicians of different walks of life. On Angie’s blog you can find book reviews\, interviews\, and deep dives on all sorts of classic rock related topics. She has interviewed musicians like Tony Valentino (The Standells)\, Andy Crofts (The Moons\, formerly in Paul Weller’s backing band)\, Graham Parker\, Mike Peters (The Alarm)\, Arthur Alexander (The Poppees\, Sorrows)\, Rich Mattson\, John Hanlon\, Jim Basnight\, Flare Voyant\, Dea Matrona\, The Fontaines DC\, and many others. She graduated in 2018 with an MA in Journalism from the University of Limerick. While in university\, not only did she write about music\, she also hosted a classic rock radio show called Crazy on Classic Rock. Besides writing and classic rock\, Angie loves travelling\, photography\, collecting vintage clothing\, and spending time with her cat Bowie. \nCrime of the Century is a comprehensive book about classic rock’s connections to true crime cases with over twenty true stories of classic rock musicians and their encounters with murderers\, and musicians who committed murders. Inside the book you’ll find the most famous stories like how The Beach Boys met Charles Manson and how Phil Spector went from legendary producer to convicted murderer. There are stories of how classic rockers encountered some of the most notorious serial killers like The Kinks meeting John Wayne Gacy on their 1965 American tour and Debbie Harry allegedly getting into Ted Bundy’s car in the early 70s. \nYou’ll see how the Manson Family’s classic rock connections run deeper than you thought with their encounters with Neil Young\, John Phillips\, Tony Valentino\, Phil Ochs\, and Frank Zappa. You’ll also learn how classic rockers were only a few degrees of separation from presidential assassinations and attempted assassinations like The Band meeting Jack Ruby\, Squeaky Fromme pursuing Jimmy Page\, and John Hinckley’s encounter with DEVO and how they used the poem he wrote for Jodie Foster as song lyrics. It’s a wild and crazy ride through classic rock history. \nBut believe it or not\, these are all true stories.

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Meet Author Adam Neale
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author Adam Neale and pick up a signed copy of his book – Sukari’s Search for young adults. \nAdam is a first-time author with his book ‘Sukari’s Search’ and manages the local Timpson in Kenilworth. Although not having any official qualifications in art or writing\, this has not deterred him with drawing illustrations and writing his book. It has quickly gained praise and positive reviews about his artistic flair and excellent in-depth storytelling. \nIn his spare time\, he enjoys continuing and perfecting his art\, reading\, and photographing animals. He has a great interest in lions\, also a big admirer of all African wildlife and its conservation. Mixing the knowledge he has gained about animal behavior\, with his love for drawing and writing an immersive story – his first book was born. \nAdam’s fictional storytelling promises to take you on a journey of emotions in a world that tends to be more niche among other novels: \n“Some choices in life are just an illusion of the inevitable.” \nWith her partner no more & their cub just born\, Sukari is a first-time mum with an undetermined future. With paternal instinct surging through her\, she casts herself away from her social group. Meanwhile\, her partner’s killer continues to grow his world of fear over the lands. She has to adapt quickly in self survival whilst caring for her cub. Her past bears both deep scars and a fiery determination\, each shadowing her one paw print behind\, and each has the power to either help or cripple her future. It will all depend on which one will catch up with her first\, and how she uses it. Either way\, she will quickly have to learn that her life will never be what she’d imagined. \nSukari’s search is a journey of self-discovery\, coming of age\, unbreakable bonds\, sacrifice\, a promise… and the unexpected.

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Meet Author and Poet Holly Pester
DESCRIPTION:Recently reviewed by both the Guardian and the Times Holly’s debut novel is really getting noticed and now you have the chance to come and meet her at the bookshopand pick up a signed copy of her book – The Lodgers. \n‘What it said to me was that I was here again\, I was back\, back from the great nowhere of somewhere else\, returned\, all too officially\, to the whereabouts of Moffa.’After a year away\, a woman arrives back in her hometown to keep an eye on her wayward mother\, Moffa. Living in a precarious sub-let\, she is always on edge\, anticipating a visit from the landlord or the arrival of the other resident. But her thoughts also drift back to the rented room she has just left\, now occupied by a new lodger she has never met\, but whose imagined navigations within the house and home become her fascination. \nThe minor dramas of temporary living are prised open and ransacked in Holly Pester’s irreverent reckoning with those who house us. This is a story about what it means to live and love within and outside of family structures. It is also a stunning first novel from a writer already hailed as one of the best poets of her generation.
