An independent bookshop in Clitheroe will be hosting a ‘Meet the Author’ event to celebrate National Bookshop Day.
Zoe Channing owner of Number 10 Literature & Lifestyle based on Castlegate said she keen to raise awareness of local authors and encouraging people to buy books from an independent bookshop instead of just ordering online.
She said: “Being able to have conversations about books, reading habits and new authors makes such a difference for the customer. I can provide bespoke recommendations for birthdays, gifts and Christmas for even the most difficult person to buy for.”
Authors from across Lancashire who have written historical fiction, fantasy, lifestyle, poetry, crime fiction and children’s stories will be taking part. Among them will be Oscar de Muriel who is signed to Penguin Publishing.
Oscar de Muriel was born in Mexico City and moved to the UK to complete his PhD. He is a chemist, translator and violinist who now lives and works in Lancashire. The Loch of the Dead is his fourth novel, following A Mask of Shadows, A Fever of the Blood and The Strings of Murder.
The Meet the Author event will take place at the United Reform Church Clitheroe on Saturday October 9 from10am to 3pm.
