SUMMARY: The Fall and Rise of the Mölkky Bar Kids 
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself in a blazing tale of sporting splendour that began as a pub conversation gone awry. Join Leeds-based Neil Squires on the launch of his new book; an unlikely story of four men from Yorkshire who found themselves crossing the globe in search of international glory. \n\n\n\nHilarious\, moving and surprisingly profound\, The Fall and Rise of the Mölkky Bar Kids is a lesson in enduring friendship\, growing older and the importance of throwing your hat (and your Mölkky stick) in the ring when you’re offered a new adventure. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nSuddenly in his mid-fifties\, Neil Squires found himself at a crossroads in life. With a journalism career in oscillation and trips to the barber starting to focus more on his eyebrows than hair\, he desperately craved a sporting adventure akin to the ones he had spent his life reporting on. But when he took up an obscure Finnish throwing game\, he had no idea it would lead him and three school friends halfway across the world\, in ill-fitting Team GB kit\, to compete for the nation\, becoming unlikely Japanese media celebrities in the process. \n\n\n\nTravelling 5\,500 miles from home to Hokkaido in pursuit of a gold medal at the Mölkky World Championships\, with the weight of the nation on their rapidly stiffening backs\, the newly formed Mölkky Bar Kids faced humiliating loss\, unexpected victories\, and learned of the power of writing a bonkers twist into your story at a stage in life when most people begin to disregard you.  \n\n\n\n“As my ghostwriter\, Neil Squires actually managed to make one of my books interesting and funny. This is what you get from him when he isn’t compromised by such poor material.” – Jonny Wilkinson

SUMMARY:An Evening with Jess Kitching
DESCRIPTION:Not only is Jess an internationally published writer of thrillers\, she’s a regular attendee of the Truman’s Book Club Social! We can’t wait to have her in the bookshop to celebrate with her as she launches her new book The Secrets of Strangers. Join us on publication day! \n\n\n\nPerfect for fans of Lisa Jewell\, Paula Hawkins and Ruth Ware\, The Secrets of Strangers is a propulsive thriller about a writer who gets caught up in the case of a missing woman. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nAfter suffering a loss\, Janine and her husband Kamal need a fresh start. They leave their family and everything they know in Manchester and move to Bamblethorpe\, a picturesque Lancashire village where they expect nothing but peace and quiet. It’ll be just what Janine\, a thriller writer\, needs to work on her next manuscript.But the peace of their new village life is disrupted when long-time local Alexa Clarke goes missing out of the blue. Did she leave her husband like some people suspect? Or is there credibility to the rumours that something more nefarious has happened to Alexa?Frozen by writer’s block\, Janine stumbles into investigating Alexa’s disappearance\, and the more she discovers about Alexa’s life\, the more complicated things become. Nothing is as it seems\, and Janine begins to realise that there are disturbing parallels between Alexa’s life and her own.What starts as curious procrastination quickly spirals into a tangled web of secrets\, lies and a truth Janine may not be ready to face … if she survives. \n\n\n\n‘Gripping\, twisty and perfectly plotted. A mystery that just demands to be devoured.’ – Katy Brent \n\n\n\n‘A terrific writer with a smart\, keep-on-guessing\, plot-twisting story that will keep you turning the pages until you reach the final one … then you’ll finally be able to take a breath.’ – Chris Carter\, author of The Crucifix Killer \n\n\n\nAbout the Author \n\n\n\nBorn in Bradford\, Jess Kitching is an avid reader\, writer and binge-watcher who splits her time between the UK and Australia.
