I’m delighted to be taking part in the excellent Chichester Book Club, an innovative new website dedicated to introducing local readers to books and authors in West Sussex. Set up by Isabel Ashdown in response to the large number of enquiries from book groups that she was receiving about her debut novel Glasshopper, its list of Autumn Reads also includes fiction by Gabrielle Kimm, Peter Lovesey, Alison MacLeod, Bethan Roberts, Pauline Rowson, Jane Rusbridge, Tim Stretton (and me) - all authors with a local connection.
