Today I visited South Molten Country Market for their Festival of Words event. I went with my husband and four boys to hear some of our favourite local authors talk about and read from their new books.
Authors included
Victoria Eveleigh, Claire Barker and
Dan Metcalf. It was a real treat meeting and listening to Dan. It was the first time we met him and we fell in love with his books immediately.
Dan writes the Lottie Lipton series. Lottie Lipton is based in The British Museum and she is a nine year old investigator. There are six books in this series, you can find out more about them on
Dan's website.

We also had the privilege of seeing the lovely Claire Barker again. We try to attend events where Claire is because we are the biggest fans of her books. The Knitbone Pepper series is truly amazing and beautifully written with awesome illustrations. I highly recommend these books to both kids and adults. We recently attended the book signing for Claire's final book in the series 'A Horse Called Moon.' That completes our signed collection.

I love these kind of events. If you get an opportunity to attend a local authors book signing, go along. They're always happy to meet you and sign your books. Support your local authors!
Keep writing, keep chasing your dreams!
