Join bestselling authors Cathy Bramley and Jo Thomas for an entertaining afternoon of conversation. Refreshments included!

Join us at Yate Library for a special afternoon with two bestselling authors, Cathy Bramley and Jo Thomas, as they discuss their writing careers, inspiration, characters, and the stories behind their much-loved novels.

This relaxed and entertaining "in conversation" event will give readers the chance to hear from both authors about their journeys into publishing, the creative process behind their books, and what it takes to craft the heartwarming, uplifting stories that have captivated readers around the world.

Cathy Bramley is the Sunday Times bestselling author of eighteen novels and has sold almost two million copies worldwide. She has been a lover of stories since she was a small child and used to beg her mother to take her to the library every week for new books. Many of her passions have come and gone over the years, but her love for story, drama and romance will last a lifetime.

Cathy's books are about people she would want to be friends with, characters her readers will cheer for. They are about ordinary women doing extraordinary things. Cathy has two grown-up daughters and lives in a small village in the English countryside. Her house overlooks fields of barley and the garden is full of fruit trees: damson, plum, pear and, of course, Bramley apples!

Jo Thomas is the author of bestselling romantic fiction novels including The Oyster Catcher – which won both the RNA Joan Hessayon Award and the Festival of Romance Best eBook Award – and Escape to the French Farmhouse, which was a no.1 Kindle bestseller.

Jo worked for many years as a BBC radio reporter and producer before turning her hand to writing novels.

Her kitchen in Pembrokeshire is her happy place and she can often be found at the kitchen table enjoying meals she has cooked for family and friends, or writing about food, love, laughter and community in places you’ll want to call home.

Following the conversation, there will be an opportunity for audience questions and book signing.

Whether you're already a fan or looking to discover a new favourite author, this promises to be an entertaining afternoon with two bestselling authors.

Refreshments included!
