We are delighted to announce the launch date for the fifth instalment of our series of James's books, “When Fairies Stole the Sky.” As a neurodivergent author, James never imagined that he would not only write one book but also a complete series. We are incredibly excited to welcome our fans from Northumberland and we can't wait to hear your thoughts on this latest adventure—just remember, no spoilers!
James will share insights into the inspiration behind this captivating story, highlight his favourite chapters in relation to the first four books, and he has some poignant news to share as well.
Join us on 19th April at the YHA Granary in Berwick from 10am to 12pm for this free event. James will begin promptly at 10am. Come along to discover what all the excitement is about!
