Hi everyone,
The Grasmere, Cumbrian Book Fair is just weeks away, and I’ll be there with a full selection of my books; travel/walking adventures like A Very Alternative Coast to Coast and Show Me The Way to Santiago, my children’s book The Owl and the Mole, poetry collections including Imprints, and more. Come and say hello, browse, chat about books, walking, or writing, and pick up signed copies.

The car park has two entrances; one will be blocked by a car, the other guarded by bollards. Enter through the bollards and replace them after you. A discounted parking fee of £5 will be collected personally on the day (do not use the on-site machines, as they’re more expensive).

It’s going to be a fantastic day celebrating local and indie authors in one of the most picturesque spots in the Lakes. Hope to see you there, come and say hello! Meet local authors (including me) at this beautiful location in Grasmere Village Hall. Free entry. Please share this post far and wide. Looking forward to a great book-filled day in Grasmere!
