October 28, 2022 @ 20:00 – 22:00
As part of the Farsley Literature Festival we are excited to announce this unique opportunity to hear these three fabulous female Yorkshire fiction writers chat together about their books, inspirations, characters and future projects.
Milly Johnson was born, raised and still lives in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. A Sunday Times bestseller, she is one of the Top 10 Female Fiction authors in the UK with millions of copies of her books sold across the world. In 2020,she was honoured with the Romantic Novelists’ Association’s Outstanding Achievement Award and was a featured author in the Reading Agency’s Quick Reads and World Book Night campaigns. A writer who champions women and highlights the importance of friendship and community, Milly’s characters are celebrations of the strength of the human spirit.
Caroline Bond was born on Yorkshire’s beautiful east coast in Scarborough. After studying for a degree in English Literature at Lincoln College, Oxford she took a long break from education before completing an MA in Creative Writing at Leeds Trinity University.
In the interim, she combined a career in market research with raising three children with her husband, Chris. Having spent years researching TV drama she began script writing, for adults and children, which led onto fiction writing. Caroline is a trained volunteer for Victim Support and is currently the Chair of Weekenders, a charity that runs youth schemes and social events for disabled children and teenagers. Caroline is a runner and a writer, she’s quicker at the latter, but there are a lot of hills in her part of the world.
Alexandra Potter is the bestselling author of numerous romantic comedy fiction novels in the UK including Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up, which is currently being developed as a TV series. Her books have sold in twenty-two territories and achieved worldwide sales of more than one million copies (making the bestseller charts in the UK, US, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Serbia).
Yorkshire born and raised, Alex currently lives in south-west London with Mr California and their Bosnian rescue dog, and when she’s not spending time writing or travelling, she’s spending far too much time on Instagram being reminded that she should be exercising regularly, drinking enough water, practising mindfulness and feeling blessed.
