Excellent Women Festival

7 March 2026, 6.15pm at The Holroyd Community Theatre, Oswestry, SY10 7SZ

Want to have dinner with me? Then join me at the Author Dinner on the eve of the first-ever Excellent Women Festival, organised by the inimitable Booka Books!

Along with nine other authors, I’ll be hosting a table at this very special bookish event. Imagine, a convivial evening of delicious food, drinks and stimulating conversation about all things books.

Tables will be hosted by me, plus No 1 Sunday Times best-selling crime author, Clare Mackintosh, Sunday Times best-selling writer Lucy Easthope, fiction writer Amy Beashel, crime authors Jenny Blackhurst and Carys Green, debut author Hazel Ward, award-winning author Liz Hyder, YA novelist Tess James Mackey and historian Susannah Stapleton.

During the course of the evening, we’ll talk about our own writing and an ‘Excellent Woman’ who has inspired us.

The evening commences at 6.30pm with drinks and canapes, followed by dinner. There will be an author book signing session and Festival ‘goody bags’ to take home.
