A KIDDERMINSTER author is set to be signing copies of her debut novel in Kidderminster and Wolverley this month.

Lynn Forth, a former lecturer at Kidderminster College, signed to Crooked Cat earlier this year and her first novel, Love in La La Land, was published recently.

To celebrate her debut novel, Lynn will be signing copies of her book in Kidderminster Library on October 21, between 10am and 12pm, and Gil's Old Vintage Store, in Wolverley, on October 19, from 2pm.

She said: "As you can imagine, I'm thrilled to be having my book published. It has been a fascinating learning curve from last February when Crooked Cat first wanted to publish my debut novel, Love in La La Land.

"The story is a romantic comedy about the glittering world of Hollywood and what happens when star-struck English writer, Jane Jones, enters this city of dreams for the first time. Will she come to earth with a bump, or can she write her own happy ending?

"The paperback and eBook are both on sale now from Amazon.

"I have to pinch myself that it is all real."

She added: "To celebrate the launch, I will be holding several signing events in the local area. The first of these is in Kidderminster Library. Pop in, get your copy of Love in La La Land and I will happily chat and sign your book.

"As well as the book signing at Kidderminster Library on October 21, I will be doing a book reading and signing at Gil's Old Village Store, Wolverley, on October 19, where there will be, no doubt, lots of tea and cake."

Future signings are due to be held at Bewdley and Stourport libraries - with dates to be confirmed.
