The Riff Raff is an event for aspiring authors and lovers of new writing. Each month we hear from five debut authors with a recently published book.

This is your chance to:

* Hear new work from exciting debut authors first...

* Ask questions of authors who only recently made the leap onto Step One of that daunting publishing ladder…

* Snap up signed copies of books...

* Seek inspiration for your own masterpiece…

* Discover how each of these authors got published...

* And, most importantly, to make friends with people who understand that trying to write a book is HARD.

****************************************************************

On the night we will be joined by the following five debut authors....

Stacey Halls, author of The Familiars - A page-turning historical novel based on the notorious Pendle witch trials.

Bev Thomas, author of A Good Enough Mother - a dark and gripping exploration of the complex dynamic between a patient and a therapist, and a look at the responsibility and limitations of motherhood

Yara Rodrigues Fowler, author of Stubborn Archivist - a bold debut novel exploring growing up between cultures, of finding your space within them and of learning to live in a traumatized body.

Victoria Selman, author of Blood for Blood - a suspense-filled, visceral and twisty thriller inspired by the real-life cryptic messages in America’s oldest cold case, and the gruesome murders committed by Australia’s first known serial killer William MacDonald.

Claire Adam, author of Golden Child - a hugely atmospheric and skillfully realised depiction of life in rural Trinidad in the '80s - literary fiction with an element of thriller.
