Tintern talks returns for the spooky season with novelist and ghostwriter Mark McCrum.

Mark McCrum has written a five top ten bestsellers with celebrities ranging from Robbie Williams to Prince Harry. In this informal, off-the-record talk he shares entertaining behind-the-scenes anecdotes and explains how a professional ghostwriter makes a memoir or TV tie-in into a succesful story.

Since moving to Wales, Mark has turned to crime - writing of course! His latest novels include Murder on Tour, about a fictional pop-star and Ghosted, where a succesful architect finds himself at his own funeral in spectral form.

Join us at this in-person event at Tintern Village Hall. Doors open at 7pm with a cash bar. Approximately one hour including questions.

Mae Ymddiriedolaeth Cadwraeth Adeiladau Rhan Isaf Dyffryn Gwy wedi ymgymryd â'r her o ddiogelu eglwys adfeiliedig ryfeddol y Santes Fair. Ar ôl ei diogelu, gobeithiwn y gall pobl leol ac ymwelwyr fel ei gilydd fwynhau’r eglwys fel lle heddychlon i ymlacio, wrth sefyll ar ei bryn coediog hardd yn edrych ar y golygfeydd o Dyndyrn hanesyddol a Dyffryn Gwy.

Bydd ymgyrch codi arian yn dechrau’n fuan. Lledaenwch y gair os gwelwch yn dda. Derbynnir pob cefnogaeth (gwirfoddoli, ariannol) yn ddiolchgar.
