SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Meet Local Poet Atmos
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet local author Atmos and pick up a signed copy of his book – Poetry for the Blind. \nAtmos is an ambient music producer\, progressive rock songwriter\, ink artist\, free verse poet\, and fantasy fiction author known for being an animal welfare and mental health advocate\, mindfulness practitioner\, environmentalist\, marathon runner\, and Buddhist monastery visitor. \n \nAtmos is focused on a mission of inspiring others\, building meaningful relationships\, and promoting positive change amidst the inevitable challenges of life. \nInspired by the works of Pink Floyd\, Tool\, Rumi\, Alex Grey\, and Salvador Dalí\, Atmos’ diverse creative artistry lends itself to his creative projects\, resulting in a unique fusion of music\, art\, literature\, philosophy\, spirituality\, science\, and world culture. \nPoetry for the Blind is a collection of poems about issues in the world\, philosophy\, consciousness\, raising awareness of gratitude\, promoting positive change\, and concerns for the future of humanity. \nHow often do we reflect on the life we are living or the kind of future we are heading towards as a species? \nThe way that we think of the world shapes the world that we live in and how we interact with it. \nThrough poetry\, this book offers readers a way to explore the human condition through the eyes of the author and reflect on issues affecting the collective consciousness residing in human lives on a mass scale. 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.

SUMMARY:SATURDAY SIGNING - meet local writer S C Skillman
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author S C Skillman\, who will be signing copies of her new book\, A-Z of Warwick. \nAethelflaed\, daughter of Alfred the Great\, built her fortress Waeringwicum on the river Avon in the year 914; it grew into the town of Warwick. Her conquest of the Viking Danelaw secured the creation of the Kingdom of England. \nEver since then\, Warwick has been at the centre of England’s history. After William the Conqueror ordered that a castle be built on Aethelflaed’s chosen site\, that castle and the Earldom of Warwick became one of the highest prizes in the dangerous and treacherous power game played around the English throne for centuries. \nToday\, Warwick retains many of its beautiful historical buildings\, and is packed with the richness of the human story besides being a lively modern town. Here in this book\, you will find not only several of its most treasured ancient buildings and glorious gardens but also some outstanding examples of its people\, commerce\, creativity\, science and endeavour\, community events\, birds\, and animals. All of this is accompanied by my own photographs in full colour. My hope is that I have\, through this book\, given you a flavour of the life of Warwick and its people: past\, present and future. \n

SUMMARY:SATURDAY SIGNING - meet author Dexter Hutt
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author Dexter Hutt\, who will be signing copies of his new book\, Digging Deep. \nWednesday 8:36pm. A man lies brutally stabbed to death in a deserted Birmingham car park. Chief Inspector Gavin Ross surveys the scene. Detective Inspector Angie Reeves has been granted a trial period with the murder team to see if she’s fit to return to active duty. Evidence begins to mount but then Ross’s team are mysteriously pulled off the investigation. Angie cannot let it go because the murdered man is Walter Price – her old headteacher who once saved her father’s life. Drawn into a sinister world of extreme violence and betrayal\, she is determined to find out the truth behind Walter’s death… \nDexter spent his early childhood in Guyana. After graduating from Birmingham University\, he pursued a career in secondary school improvement\, during which he was knighted for services to education. He lives in Birmingham and Diggng Deep is his first novel. \n“A fantastic debut novel and the first of what\, I hope\, is a series of Detective Reeves’ cases. The characters and their relationships are engaging and believable\, warts. The familiarity of Birmingham and surrounding areas is the perfect setting to this crime and the twists and turns of the tale.” \n“Digging Deep hooks you from the first page to the last. Angie Reeves is a strong and fascinating protagonist with an emotional investment in hunting down the killer. The insights into intelligent and painstaking detective work coupled with a taut plot make for an engrossing read.”

SUMMARY:SATURDAY SIGNING - meet local author Sara Rowell
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author Sara Rowell\, who will be signing copies of her new book\, Yvonne\, Child of the Somme. \nA moving\, true account of one girl’s formative years in early 20th century France\, Yvonne\, Child of the Somme is also the story of thousands of children like her\, who shared a similar fate. Most were too ashamed of their background ever to reveal their heart-rending stories. The echoes of their pain reverberated down the generations\, unexplained. \nYvonne Millet was born into poverty in Paris during La Belle Époque\, in the shadow of Notre-Dame cathedral. Taken to a childminder in the countryside a few days after birth\, she became a ward of state at the age of three when her mother disappeared. A stable childhood in the beautiful Somme region of northern France was shattered when\, aged fifteen\, she was sent to work as a maid in a military town\, during the First World War. Her devastating experiences would change her life and haunt her forever. As a troubled young woman facing a precarious future\, chance led Yvonne to marry a former British soldier. Hopes of fulfilment with a husband and family were marred by profound insecurities and the Second World War. \n‘Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.’ Søren Kierkegaard\, Danish Philosopher \nSara Rowell began writing thanks to a chance conversation with a friend\, after a career in marketing and communications. She is fascinated by stories within ordinary families at extraordinary points in history\, and how they can echo down the generations. A member of Solihull Writers\, her writing includes historical biography and historical fiction. In 2020 she won the Solihull Writers non-fiction competition for her entry ‘Ah yes\, the past has mystery’\, and went on to win the award again in 2022 and 2023.
