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.

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Meet Local Author Mark Armstrong
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet local author Mark Armstrong and pick up a signed copy of his book of Short Stories – In a Foreign Field. \nSix men left British shores\, and all that they knew\, to fight in a foreign field which seemed as impossible and as daunting as a trip to the moon. How would they respond to long periods of deprivation\, crushing fear and the unknowable reactions of their fellow man in extremis? The six stories illuminate the tragedy of conflict and how it mostly leaves an imprint\, for better or worse\, on the men who took part. \nAfter living in a variety of locations across England\, Mark studied Landscape Architecture at Art College and subsequently became a Chartered Surveyor. He spent a career managing all aspects of the built and natural environment both professionally and for pleasure. He has worked and lived within rural communities\, cared for historic gardens\, parkland\, country houses and working buildings\, from deepest Shropshire to Warwickshire\, both with the National Trust and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. \nDuring that time\, he has nurtured a keen interest in saving and preserving these wonderful monuments to those people who lived in them and is now Chair of the Avoncroft Museum of Buildings and a Trustee of the Compton Verney House Trust. \nA former resident of Kenilworth and lifelong walker along the coasts\, moorlands\, hills and mountains throughout the British Isles\, Mark seeks to record these special places through the medium of watercolour. \nThinking about the lives and values of people shaped by their lived-in landscapes and having to make choices in times past\, inspired Mark to turn to writing his first collection of six short stories… In a Foreign field.   \n  \n

Through turmoil and devastating circumstances\, Poetry for the Blind progresses towards a sense of possibility and hope for a positive future—a future that we can still have. \nWe have the power to change the world but we have to start with ourselves first.
