A literary conversation

Two weeks tonight, I will be sharing the stage with my friend, Vanessa Couchman. It promises to be an informal evening of talk, readings, discussion about using South West France as inspiration for our novels.
All the information you need is on the flyer below.
Afterwards, a group of us are heading off to La Gabelle in Villefranche to share a meal and, of course, a glass or two of wine.
The event is open to all, no need to book, but if you fancy the “after-show party’ please let me know.
Hope you can join us,
