The much awaited historical biography of Alexander Macleay is finally here as James Donaldson is launches it at Elizabeth Bay House. Internationally famous botanist Professor David Mabberley of Oxford University will launch the book. He is the author of almost 20 books including an excellent biography of Robert Brown, Macleay's close scientific friend   The Scot, Alexander Macleay (1767-1848), was an entomologist and notable political figure in the nineteenth-century pioneer days of Sydney, Australia. Criticised for his salary, his free house and the large land grants he received, he was also ridiculed for his stature and his fat legs, that he survived this crude sniping until his retirement in 1846 is testament to his endurance and indefatigable nature.   The book draws from many sources including the Linnean Society of London for which he served as Secretary and the journals, political writings and newspapers of Sydney. Donaldson paints a strong portrait of a man who became Colonial Secretary for New South Wales in 1825 and whose scientific curiosity made his insect collection one of the most extensive in the world.

The Medway local authors book fair brings Richard Cruttwell’s thriller masterpiece for a book signing. Born in Bexley, Richard found the newly emerging punk rock scene to be the perfect outlet for teenage angst, but after shelving his personal dreams of attaining rock and roll stardom, he put his life on hold and turned his creative focus to photography and writing.   "Room 13: Between Hell and Redemption" sees Stephen Caldwell finds himself rotting in a Polish prison for a murder he maintains he did not commit. Just who is the mysterious blonde woman found stabbed to death on the floor of his hotel bathroom and why would anyone want to frame him? The book is an account of how the central character serves his time and is then released to begin his quest as to who did this to him and why. Moving between Poland and the UK, the story is full of drama and intrigue with strong characterisation. Perhaps more than anything, it explores the weaknesses of the human condition and how we are all to some extent, shaped by our past experiences. Meet the author as he signs the copy of a non-predictable story end.

Simon Adepetun is visiting Wallasey Village library to talk about his book. The Manchester born has mostly lived in Warrington. He has a degree in English Studies and a Postgraduate certificate in Theatre Studies from the University of Manchester. Working as full time sales manager, Simon enjoys spending quality time with his family and writing. The children’s book is also a treat for the adults where eleven-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Chambers has parents Philip and Susan who love work and shopping and who just don't listen. Daniel is an only child ... no, he's lying ... he has a sister, Alice, who has a dolly fixation; Dan is sure she is an alien. So, Dan has a few problems, none insurmountable, until his friend, Benji, introduces him to the find of the century - a derelict bee hive which could become a den. Of course, such a simple thing is never so simple and when Dan finds a map well, all kinds of things just go horribly wrong. For example - Alice noses her nosey way in and two strange men suddenly turn up wanting what's theirs - and then there's the bank, too. "The Bee Hive" by Simon Adepetun is a tight little sharp-witted bumble through a short period in Dan's young life.
