Linda Green 'The last thing she told me' 29th May 2pm Oliver Harris 'A shadow intelligence' 5th June 2pm CJ Cooke 'The blame game' 12th June 2pm Keith Hutson 'Baldwins Catholic geese' 19th June 2pm Clara Barley 'The moss house' 27th June 2pm Linda Green will be speaking about her book, The Last Thing She Told Me. Sat 29th May 2pm The Last Thing She Told Me focuses on four generations of women from the same family and the secrets which have shaped their lives. The novel begins as Nicola visits her ailing grandmother Betty, who, moments before she dies, whispers that there are babies at the bottom of the garden....   Oliver Harris will be speaking about his book A shadow intelligence.    Sat 5th June 2pm There is a dark side to MI6 that needs men like Elliot Kane - mercurial, inquisitive, free floating. He's spent 15 years managing events overseas that never make the papers, deniable and deeply effective. But when a woman he loves, Joanna Lake, vanishes without a trace in Kazakhstan, he is forced centre stage......   C.J Cooke will be talking about 'The blame game' and her next novel 'The nesting'. Sat 12th June 2pm The main character of The Blame Game is Helen Pengilly, a wife and mother in her mid-thirties who is confronted with her past in one of the most unlikely places. She’s driven by a need to keep her family together, but this is also a flaw, as she makes choices for the sake of her family that compromise her own well-being (and ultimately her family).    Keith Hutson will be talking about his collection of poems 'Baldwin's Catholic Geese'  Sat 19th June 2pm Baldwin’s Catholic Geese looks at life and death through the lens of both legendary and obscure music hall and variety performers from the 1800s to today. The poems feature not only well-known artistes like Hylda Baker, Frankie Howerd, Jimmy James, but also far more bizarre acts – forgotten now – like Willy Netta’s Singing Jockeys, The Bryn Pugh Sponge Dancers, Macauley’s Leaping Infants and, of course, Baldwin’s Catholic Geese. Keith Hutson has written for Coronation Street and for many well-known comedians.   Clara Barley will be talking about her book 'The moss house'   Sunday 27th June 2pm In the mid 19th century, neighbouring landowners Anne Lister and Ann Walker find their lives entwined in a passionate, forbidden relationship, but the world isn't ready for Anne Lister, the larger than life scholar, traveller, mountaineer and lesbian.
