All of Rye Bookshop's events, activities and story times went very well during the October half term. The two most popular were the make-your-own-witch's-hat activity, attended by a dozen children, and the author event with Tim Parsons – who has written two children's books about a paramedic called Chris. The books are based on Tim's own experiences volunteering as a paramedic himself. The shop staff were delighted by how many people came along each day and felt supported by locals and visitors alike.
There are a couple of events coming up in November. On Saturday November 17 from 11am, author Colin Bateman will be at the shop signing copies of his book A Dreadful Trade. His book is a crime novel set locally.
On Saturday November 24 Hastings-based author Tina Brown will sign copies of her books in store. Tina has written non-fiction books on a variety of subjects including a book on the secret history of Hastings and St Leonards.
