A WONDERFUL BOOK FESTIVAL FROM ESSEX - STILL CONTINUING UNTIL MARCH 31 ESSEXBOOKFESTIVAL.ORG.UK

Ros Green and her team at Essex Book Festival have pulled off another excellent month of fabulous events across the county (and there are still a couple of days left - check out www.essexbookfestival.org.uk) 

For me, it has been a pleasure, once again - I think for our 19th year - that I have visited some of our most interesting Essex venues and met authors, performers and readers from many literary and entertainment fields. It's always lovely to meet a first time author and it was great to meet a pal, the publisher Una Rose (Estuary Publishing) and her latest author Patricia Volante with her new title - hot off the press - ROSSI'S The Story of Southend's Favourite Ice Cream. 

On Saturday last at Chelmsford Library, Patricia happily signed copies of her book, which is already in the bookshops, providing a  a super gift for Southend residents and those who enjoy family history - this family is fascinating!    www.estuarypublishing.
