The Leopardess School of Colombo: Book Launch & Reading
Come along to Newington Library in Edinburgh this Saturday October 26th at 11am for this special free event with Author Annabel Allen!
About The Leopardess School of Colombo: Book Launch & Reading
Author Annabel Allen introduces a new genre of “wake up and shake up” fiction with a special Sri Lankan twist. If you are wondering whether there is such a genre with a special Scottish twist, there is! This is a double bill with readings from 2 brand new novelettes*: one set in Sri Lanka and one set in Scotland.
Annabel will talk about imaginative writing, new ways of publishing written works, and other exhilarating stuff.
*Novelette means a shortish story with fresh kinds of intrigue and mayhem.
Open to all - suitable for ages 14 years up to 100. Dress leopardess if you wish.
About the novelettes:
The Leopardess School of Colombo
Something highly unusual is creeping into the tropical city of Colombo in Sri Lanka. It is indomitable, almost invisible and may catch some people unawares. Daring women are on a mission with fire in their hearts, ready to ruffle a feather or two. Or maybe lots and lots of feathers.
The She-Wolf Gardening Club of Edinburgh
Unruly plants, weeds and women. Is this a recipe to shuffle dramatic change into the ancient city of Edinburgh? As a motley group of gardening women set things in motion, some ridiculous surprises emerge. At the library, the universities and the homes and gardens of the people of Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital. Will they be ready? Or even notice?
