ESSEX AUTHORS MEET READERS

Friday's gathering at Brentwood Library was hugely successful. More than 15 authors turned up to meet their readers, editors, photographers, local radio presenters and, perhaps more importantly, each other. Trish Carter and staff were on hand with refreshments and advice and all seemed to enjoy sharing this 'special showcase'. Even Jim Shrubb, the Billericay Town Crier turned up and was happy to pose with our stars of the evening.
