SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Come and Meet Author and Chef Bia Rodrigues Perry
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author and chef Bia Rodrigues Perry\, who will be signing copies of her book\, Bia’s Kitchen Show. \n“Bia’s Kitchen Show: A Culinary Journey of Gratitude” is more than just a cookbook; it’s an inspiring celebration of food\, resilience\, and community. \nRooted in Bia’s own journey of overcoming personal challenges through her passion for cooking\, this beautifully crafted collection invites readers to embark on a flavourful adventure. Featuring recipes from her popular online TV series – as well as some of her own creations – the book introduces some of the best independent food businesses in Warwickshire\, showcasing talented chefs\, nutritionists\, and food artisans who bring their love of culinary art to life. \nFrom comforting family meals to exotic dishes\, the recipes in this book are both accessible and inventive\, allowing home cooks of all levels to recreate the magic of these local chefs in their own kitchens. \nAlongside these mouth-watering dishes\, Brazilian-born Bia shares her heartfelt story of how cooking became her path to happiness\, making this book a deeply personal and uplifting read. \nWhether you’re a foodie looking for new inspiration or someone who finds solace in the art of cooking\, this book delivers an abundance of flavours and stories that will stir your soul. Plus\, every purchase makes a difference\, with all proceeds supporting the mental health charity\, MIND\, in honour of those facing similar struggles. \nDive into this fantastic cookbook full of gratitude\, community\, and flavour\, and discover how cooking can heal and bring people together. \nBio \nBianca Rodrigues-Perry is an award-winning entrepreneur\, foodie\, presenter\, author and influencer from Leamington. \nBia’s journey of reinvention began when she left behind her family and a high-flying marketing career in 2009\, emigrating from her native Rio de Janeiro\, now newly married – her future devoted to what became her new role as mum of three. \n But it was also to signal the start of a turbulent period in her life\, spending much of her pregnancy battling crippling sickness and post-natal depression\, a series of health scares involving her children and the death of a family member who tragically took his own life. Her book is dedicated to him. \n It’s Bia’s combined passions of cooking and entrepreneurialism that eventually became a lifeline – even going on to win Couple’s Come Dine With Me on Channel Four. Buoyed by her early business success of running a thriving food delivery service during lockdown\, it was in January last year that she stepped out of the shadows of her busy Cubbington kitchen once more\, and into the limelight. The Bia’s Kitchen brand was born. \nSince then Bianca and her Bia’s Kitchen Show\, which is streamed on YouTube\, have won the affections of a loyal and growing audience\, even winning the entrepreneur national awards\, recognising the enterprise and compassion she has shown in her work with local businesses. \nhttps://biaskitchenshow.com/

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing - Come and Meet Local Author Rita John
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet author Rita John\, who will be signing copies of her new fiction books\, Sex\, Drugs\, Bread Rolls & Armed Robberies & It’s All Pricks And Balls This Christmas & Giblet Stew. \nRita John is a Coventry author and has two true stories based on her upbringing and struggles working at a major food retailer and a 1970’s pub chain. \nThe novels are raw\, unflinching\, and ultimately hopeful. Part memoir\, part fiction; both novels expose the systemic failures that kept women trapped in violent marriages while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit. It’s a story of survival against impossible odds\, the unbreakable bonds between mothers and children\, and the power of breaking free to reclaim one’s life. A testament to how far we’ve come in protecting abuse victims – and how far we still have to go. \nOne reader stated that John’s ‘ability to weave humour into such intense themes is truly remarkable’.

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing – Come and Meet Poet Chris Burleigh
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet poet Chris Burleigh\, who will be signing copies of his new poetry book\, Reflections. \n‘Life is serious\, but is not to be lived too seriously.’ Serious or humorous\, Chris’ poems are always good-natured. Chris has been writing poetry all his adult life as a response to scenes\, situations\, people and emotions. \nChris has published three poetry collections – Particles of Light (2017)\, Intersecting Lines (2021) and Reflections (2025). In Reflections the more serious poems are liberally interspersed with light-hearted\, even playful\, poems and there is a final section of wry thoughts\, wit\, and wordplay. \nChris regulary reads at ‘open mics’\, community groups\, and local literary events. \nA note from Chris: \n“I have been writing poetry all my adult life as my response to scenes\, situations\, people and emotions. Over the years\, as poetry took up more of my time\, I joined writers’ groups\, and started entering poetry competitions with some success. I have been published in anthologies by Fish Publishing and Indigo Dreams. \nIn 2017 I decided to gather together the best of my work and to self-publish a collection of poetry and wit as Particles of Light. The book has been well received and has sold well in my local bookshops. \nIntersecting Lines\, my second collection\, was traditionally published by indie publisher Beercott Books in 2021. It continues to reflect my interest in people\, love\, the natural world\, and the human condition\, and is written very much with the reader in mind. \nIn 2025 Beercott Books published my third collections\, titled Reflections. \nI hope readers will enjoy reading my poems\, and will feel I am putting their own experiences and emotions into words. It’s such a great feeling when you get good feedback and review comments\, or when somebody chooses to take home a copy of your words from a bookshop or my stand. That’s communication!” \nFollow Chris – @chrismlburleigh on X\, Facebook\, and Bluesky.

Thoughts like… \nWhere’s the box to tick if you ARE a robot? \nIf\, when one door shuts\, another door opens\, there’s something wrong with your doors. They shouldn’t be doing that. \nTV detectives need a gimmick. Mine would be not caring who did it. \nAfterthoughts goes beyond rumination\, past pondering\, probing further than ever before. Drawing from a deeply private pool of questions – a reservoir so refreshing you may never need to think again. \nBook Tickets Here on Warwick Arts Website \n*Kenilworth Books are Bookselling at this Event*

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing - John Watson
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet local poet\, sculptor and organic allotmenteer John Watson. \nDelves into mystic Warwickshire \nJon was chatting with his allotment pal\, Rodd\, when he noticed the exotic glint of his friends bronze trowel.  John felt the heft\, and was beguiled by the unusual alloy from another age\, as Rodd explained the many values of bronze\, over steel. He drifted off to sleep that night\, dreaming about this. He awoke with a mad idea. \nJohn has sculpted and cast a series of seven mystical garden delves into existence! He has written a seven chapter book of prose\, poetry and artwork relevant to each bronze Delve. In each chapter is a riddle in rhyme\, a clue to the whereabouts of a bronze token. The seven tokens are hidden within the ancient county of Warwickshire. The Delves have been imbued with totemic energy\, they are laden with lore and positive power. \nThey have a priceless intrinsic value. John has been offered £600 for one\, yet insists that they are not for sale. They must be sought for and gained\, only by romantic quest! John will be at Kenilworth books\, Saturday 6th December\, signing pre-advance tickets for his book and treasure hunt next spring.
