Local Author News – Richard Hardie at the Winchester Discovery Centre

March 29, 2018 By Allison Symes Leave a Comment

I am pleased to share news that local author, Richard Hardie, of the Temporal Detective Agency Young Adult fantasy series, will be at Winchester Discovery Centre on 3rd April 2018.  He will be running two free interactive story sessions.  More details below.

There are two time slots. The morning one from 11.30 am to 1.00 pm will be in the children’s area of the library and is intended for 6 to 10 year olds. There’ll be lots of Camelot based stories from Leap of Faith and there will be dressing up too.

The second session will be from 1.30 pm to 3.00pm will be in the main library, next to the Young Adult section and is for 7 to infinity! There’ll still be dressing up and stories, but it’ll be more oriented to how to write a book and Richard will also talk about how he wrote Leap of Faith.

Both sessions are free, but money should be brought, as books can be bought!

About Allison Symes

I'm a published flash fiction and short story writer, as well as a blogger. My fiction work has appeared in anthologies from Cafelit and Bridge House Publishing.

My first flash fiction collection, From Light to Dark and Back Again, was published by Chapeltown Books in 2017.

My follow-up, Tripping the Flash Fantastic, was published by Chapeltown Books in 2020.

I adore the works of many authors but my favourites are Jane Austen, P.G. Wodehouse and Terry Pratchett.

I like to describe my fiction as fairytales with bite.
