Before the pandemic, he ran a bookstall of translated poetry at craft and gift markets. www.timothyades.com Martin Booth started out writing for BBC radio. He went on to become a script editor for BBCTV and a deputy controller for the ITV Network. He has had two novels published, part of a sequence of four. He will be reading from Karu küüsis (roughly translated as Bear Trap), a novel about the Estonian Diaspora and Soviet era to be published in in Tallinn early March. Richard C Bower is the international selling author of Postmodern and the newly released Sanctuary. He is recognised by UNESCO Nottingham City of Literature, Writing East Midlands, and Nottinghamshire County Council as one of the area’s most prominent writers. Richard has collaborated on work with BBC Radio, Mansfield Town FC and OCD UK among others. He will be reading his nature-based poems, written during lockdown, from a collection with the working title of Pleasures in the Pathless Woods. Amanda Craig is a British novelist, short-story writer and critic. She has written nine novels. The Lie of the Land was chosen as a book of the year by the Guardian, the Observer, the Daily Telegraph and the Irish Times. Last year, The Golden Rule, received rave reviews and was described as “exquisite”, “wise, witty” and “daringly plotted”. Amanda is regarded as a state of the nation novelist, commenting on the gulf between rich and poor. She will be reading from her forthcoming novel The Three Graces. After leaving the Royal Navy, Geoff Gudgion was a corporate warrior in technology companies until he fell out with his Californian CEO and became a freelance consultant. Writing filled his un-billable hours and eventually took over. He is the author of two published novels, Saxon’s Bane and Draca, both subtly supernatural thrillers, and now writes full time. His extract is from The Vriesian Witch, in the very different genre of historical fantasy. Nicola Williams qualified and practiced as a barrister. She has worked in the UK and abroad and is now a part-time Crown Court judge, and the former Ombudsman for the UK Armed Forces.
