We’re all set for a girls’ night in next week as award-winning
writer, Sue Moorcroft, joins us live at the library on Tuesday 4 February.
Don’t miss the chance to meet the author behind romantic reads
such as Is This Love?
and Love and Freedom, and
find out more about her work and life as a writer.
As well as award-winning novels, Sue has also written fiction for
women’s magazines, including Woman’s Weekly, and is a writing tutor – so if
you’ve ever fancied putting pen to paper and want some inspiration, or simply
enjoy a good love story, then you’ll love this!
So bring your friends, and join in the conversation. Booking advised at the library.
With licensed bar. Over 18s only.
