Methvens have announced a series of in-store events. Local author Suzannah Dunn will be signing copies of her latest book, 'The Sixth Wife', in the Worthing shop on Saturday, 20th January.

Jeremy Thomas may live in London and Greece but he writes in Worthing in the very house where he grew up. You may have heard of Jeremy through Stephen Fry's TV series on depression. Jeremy has not only written about his experiences in the book, 'You Don't Have to Be Famous to Have Manic Depression' but has written a new novel 'Taking Leave'.

Local author Suzannah Dunn will be signing copies of her latest book from 2pm on Saturday, 20th January. Suzannah is the acclaimed author of 'Commencing Our Descent', 'Tenterhooks' and 'Past Caring'. Her fiction is immensely popular with reading groups as her storytelling revels in the conflicts of heart and mind of each character. Her latest book is set in the years after Henry VIII's death and focuses on the life of Catherine Parr, Henry's last wife. Far from being written in a dry historical style, Catherine's downfall is relived in a very contemporary, gossipy style told from the point-of-view of her best friend, Catherine, Duchess of Suffolk. No tickets required, just turn up on the day!
