Christmas Cheer

TWO NORTH EAST AUTHORS SPREADING CHRISTMAS CHEER

 North East authors Kim Adams and Kay Wilson are talking about their funny and heart-warming novels based in the region, at a Christmas celebration in Whitley Bay Library Wednesday, 11 December at 2pm

 Both author’s books have received five star reviews on Amazon and been described as ‘hilarious’.

 Kim's a writer based in the Tyne Valley, but thanks to Ancestry she now knows she has strong connections to the Whitley Bay area! She writes romantic comedies set in what she calls ‘our glorious North East’ and, try as she might to set her work elsewhere, she finds all the inspiration she needs right here on the doorstep.

 She was a finalist in last year's Comedy Women in Print Prize and found herself in a comedy anthology alongside some notable comedians, and has since gone on to have three books published under her own imprint 'Shy Bairns Publishing'. It was named such because from the very beginning Kim's mantra has been that Shy Bairns Get Nowt, and this is especially true in publishing!

 Kay Wilson’s debut novel The Stand-Up Mam is about what happens when the perfect wife and mother learns to do comedy. She begins to discover what really makes her happy and it isn’t the being number four in the home pecking order. Finding her comedy feet isn’t easy until she begins to speak the truth about her life, with both funny and dramatic results.

 Tickets for the event which also includes refreshments and quizzes are free but need to be booked here.
