Local author Suzie Wilde and Tim O'Kelly of One Tree Books immerse you in a monthly indulgence of literature, storytelling and the world of books.

Is the Petersphere ready for spicy romance? Tim and I say Yes: but is it a korma or full vindaloo? We are joined this month by three fabulous writers of Romance with a touch of spice: Pippa Nixon, Emma Rae and Gemma Morr. They were at One Tree Books for a live event that was hugely informative and fun. Get a flavour of it here, as well as Watching Narrowly, the natural history book event that happens on Saturday 21st March at Gilbert White’s House & Gardens. Trustee Sian MacLeod has details.

We are joined by Michael Arnold, author of The Savage Isle and now the sequel, The River Warriors –Britannia, 42AD. The wild island at the fringe of the known world is in chaos. He has a great way of bringing the English Civil War to life … Back this up with great prose, magical pace and of course a lead character that you love to spend time around makes this a series that is not only a pure joy to read but a wonderful piece of escapism from the real world.
