"I'm Alan Hubbard, who are you?" book by Alan Hubbard, Burton-based author

Local author: Kirstie Pelling's debut novel published

Life's a Catastrophe by Kirstie Pelling
We love reading books and finding new authors to talk about, and when it's someone we know from our village it's even better!
 
So can we introduce you to Kirstie Pelling's new novel, hot off the press: "Life's a Catastrophe".
 
It's funny, it's romantic, it has cats, and it's a will they... won't they... sort of tale (or should that be tail?!)
 
Highly recommended debut novel, and we look forward to reading more from Kirstie.
 
P.S. Villagers with long memories may recall her amusing articles for Burton News too.
