We first mentioned local author Marianne Wheelaghan and her debut novel The Blue Suitcase towards the end of last year (Breaking news 20.11.10).
The book has enjoyed considerable success since, and now Marianne will be talking about the inspiration for it as part of the Blackwell's Writers at the Fringe programme on 18 August (6–8pm). The venue is at Blackwell Bookshop, 53–9 South Bridge.
The event is free, but if you wish to attend you'll need a ticket. Telephone 622 8222, or follow this link.
Marianne Wheelaghan's personal blog spot is at www.mariannewheelaghan.co.uk.
