The past is alive

Top historical author Ruth Downie visits Bedfordshire next week for a pair of fascinating talks at local libraries with other authors. Forget the telly and the iPad (lol if you're reading this on one) and interact with acclaimed story tellers. Yes there is life outside Cranfield



16 October – 7.00 pm at Barton Library (Barton le Clay, Bedfordshire) “Writing the Romans” with Henry Venmore-Rowland. Henry is the author of “The Last Caesar” and “The Sword and the Throne,” bringing to life the tumultuous events of AD 69 when Rome had four emperors in one year. 

17 October – 7.00 pm at Putnoe Library, Bedfordshire – Crime Through Time. I’ll be discussing the appeal of the Romans and the Tudors with Rory Clements, author of the John Shakespeare series (yes, John is the brother of the more famous William, and a great character in his own right).
