Blackwell are delighted to welcome
Barrington Stoke publishers and BS author Gill Arbuthnot for a discussion of
their mission to create enjoyable, unpatronising books for dyslexic, struggling
or simply reluctant readers.

Gill will talk about how she goes
about writing a book that will grip her readers and introduce them to the
pleasures of reading but we hope above all to widen the discussion and answer your questions and share your own
stories and tips.

THURSDAY 8th MAY, 6.30pm

Edinburgh is a city that produces
many crime writers from all walks of life, but in the Mulgray Twins we have perhaps one of
the genre’s most unlikely incarnations … The first twins in the world to write a
novel together in English, Helen and Morna Mulgray retired from teaching and
decided to create heroine DJ Smith and her sniffer cat Gorgonzola. Their first
novel No Suspicious Circumstances was
acclaimed as having “the kind of quirky charm and originality that made
Alexander McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series a best seller” (Daily Record).

We are delighted to welcome them to
Blackwell to discuss their new title Under Suspicion and to tell us about
what it’s like to be so inseparable you do everything together, including
writing!

All events take place at Blackwell
Bookshop, 53-62 South Bridge, Edinburgh.

of the above events, or for further information, please contact Vanessa Garden
