GRIFFIN Books has announced the glittering line-up of authors who will be stepping into their virtual bookshop this spring.

Bestsellers Maggie O'Farrell, Alexander McCall Smith and Peter May are joined by stand-out debut novelist Abigail Dean, award-winning writer Claire Fuller, Welsh author Jane Fraser and BBC North America Editor, Jon Sopel, in an event line-up guaranteed to brighten your lockdown days.

There's still time to book for Thursday's event (February 18) with Gower-based writer Jane Fraser, who will be talking about her novel, Advent.

Next week (Thursday February 25) they welcome lawyer turned author Abigail Dean, whose debut novel, Girl A, is taking the book world by storm.

An instant top ten Sunday Times Bestseller, Girl A has been lauded by authors and critics alike, rights have been sold in 29 territories and the book is set to be adapted into a major TV series.

The events – which take place via Zoom video call - give book lovers the unique opportunity to listen (and even chat to) some of their favourite authors from the comfort of their own home.
