Face2Face with well-known authors - 09/01/07

 

As part of its "Face2Face" programme, the Vale of Glamorgan Library Service has hosted a visit by well known and popular Welsh novelist Catrin Collier.

 

Catrin, who entertained a large audience at Penarth Library. has written a sequence of popular historical novels which are set in her home town of Pontypridd, and in Cardiff. The latter was the setting for her recently published novel, "Tiger Ragtime."

 

Catrin explained her research methods, and many audience members contributed their own reminiscences about life in South Wales.

 

Catrin also talked about the crime thriller novels she writes as Katherine John.

 

The Meet the Author events are part of a programme organised at various libraries, including Barry, and Penarth will again be the venue for the next event.

 

To be held on Wednesday, January 24, at 7.30pm, the guest will be Welsh poet Sheenagh Pugh. Tickets cost £2 and are available from the local library.
