BOOK LAUNCHES THURSDAY 17th APRIL
I am organising these two book launches for our local Folkestone authors. Please pop along to these free events, meet the authors and have a chat. They will be reading a piece of their stories, books are discounted for the event, but the best bit is that there will be food, including cakes and drinks available. I have read both books, the reviews are on my blog, plus I can recommend them both. The bookshop is large with so many books to look at, the choice is amazing. Come along and have a browse and it will keep the kids…

PUBLISHED BY AUSTIN MACAULEY ON THE 21st MARCH 2025 This publication is by a local Folkestone writer Margaret Harland-Suddes. I have just finished reading this and I must admit it had me hooked wondering what would happen next. Teenagers are going to love this if they like sci-fi adventures. I love the way Margaret’s mind works and dreams up all these amazing things about the future, I would never think of anything like this.
