Local authors to host festive book evening at Running Fox in Longhoughton
Two North East authors will share the stories behind their books at a festive evening featuring a Christmas buffet in Longhoughton this December.
Marrisse Whittaker and Karen Crear will be at The Running Fox in Longhoughton this December for a very special evening as the authors chat about writing killer thrillers and love stories, whilst diners tuck into a delicious, festive buffet.
"It’s a tiny Christmas present from us to Kris Blackburn who owns the café chain,” Marrisse says.
"The Running Fox in Longhoughton was the first local outlet to stock my books. As my stories are filled with murder, mystery and North East locations, particularly Northumberland, it’s been lovely to see them there and get messages from readers from far and wide who first discovered my books when visiting one of The Running Foxes.”
Karen added: “With Marrisse bringing the murder and mayhem and me supplying the love and laughter, it promises to be a cracking evening of books, banter and festive cheer.”
After a welcome drink, followed by a delicious Christmas-themed Foxy Buffet, Marrisse and Karen will talk about the different genres of stories they write and completely different routes they have followed to having their work published.
Diners can join a fun and informal question and answer session find out what really goes on behind the scenes when creating a book and pick up some writing tips.
The night concludes with sweet treats, time to purchase a personally signed book and do some Christmas shopping in The Running Fox gift shop.
