Friday 13th, The Leicester Chapter of the New Romantics Society

 

Lunch with fellow Fabulous Five Plus author Lizzie Lamb and the authors of Leicester's New Romantics Society Authors.  Great to catch up after having the summer off.  x


It's great to feel you belong

My lunch: The biggest piece of battered fish, home made chunky chips, mushy peas and a glass of chilled white wine, and the wonderful company of friends who write and understand writers.  Perfect. 


Amanda Grange, lizzie Lamb, Adrienne Vaughan, Mags Cullingford and Gwyneth Williams


Five fab authors.

Foxden Acres @ The BookStop Cafe, Lincoln

The Grand Opening of the fabulous, BookStop Café in Lincoln, May 4, 2013 
 

Joff and Becky cutting the ribbon - 10am

 
Left: Outside the café with authors, June Kearns, Madalyn Morgan and Nicky Wells. 

Inside author, Lizzie Lamb joined us.



Lincoln is a beautiful city, with a Cathedral, Castle, craft market, and of course the fabulous  BookStop Café.  I was welcomed into the city by the King and Queen, and Robin Hood. 


 
The BookStop Café is only a stones throw down the cobbled lane behind Robin Hood.  Convenient for all the car parks and the sights.
 
By 11am The BookStop Café was buzzing

Where are the books that have been written by writers?

Forgive me but I'm going to have a moan. WH Smith is advertising books for Christmas.  I counted at least 14 half price celebrity books (including, Kerry Katona. Yes, the ex-girl band singer, the one you see on the front of celeb magazines - either in love or out of love, drinking or not drinking, fat or on a diet.  And, wait for it! “The number one bestselling author, Tabloid Superstar and ex-Glamour Girl, Katie Price” has a book out for Christmas). And there's more.  There's a multitude of Cookbooks, Antique and DIY books.  But where's the quality fiction?  Novels that will thrill us, scare us, make us think, laugh and cry? And the quality non-fiction books? Where are the books that take us to worlds that are different to our own.  Worlds we don’t see on the television, or read about in glossy magazines? Where are the life books? Books that tell us about the origins of our world; show us how our ancestors lived thousands of years ago, or more recently, during the last century? Where are the books that are not only enjoyable to read, but we learn from? Well written books with good grammar, strong plot lines and rich believable characters. Sadly, they weren't being advertised.
