Barnsley Central Library will be offering local readers the opportunity to meet two authors on Friday September 4th at 5.30pm. Rotherham-born author Catherine King will be speaking about her family stories,which are  set in the North-East of England and are written in the down-to-earth tradition of Catherine Cookson. She will be joined by fellow writer Jean Fullerton, whose debut novel “No Cure for Love” won the Harry Bowling Award for a novel set in London ,and  which portrays the dark underworld of Victorian London

Both authors will be discussing their work and answering questions about their books. Copies of books by both of the speakers will be available to buy and have signed.

Derrick Taylor, Assistant Director Access to Services said, “Barnsley Libraries are delighted to be hosting this unique event. In these credit crunch days it  seems appropriate that we are able to offer a two for one event”
