It’s a busy few weeks for Exeter Writer, Elizabeth Ducie, who writes both fiction and non-fiction. In August she published one book and began trials of a second one. In September, she will be launching her latest novel. And to cap it all, she’s running a sale  for two of her earlier novels.

Sophie Duffy launched her first novel as Lizzie Lovell in July. 'The Juniper Gin Joint' is on sale in Sainsbury's, WH Smith's and The Works.   The perfect pick-me-up for summer!' Phillipa Ashley 'Like a complex gin, brimming with botanicals, this delicious book offers a giant swig of a story full of characters, wit and warmth' Jules Wake When life gives you lemons, make gin and tonic!

Exeter Writers member Cherry Gilchrist is launching a new book, The Circle of Nine, in Sep 2018. Meanwhile, her publishers Red Wheel Weiser are offering a free e-reader sample on Calameo, at https://www.calameo.com/read/0055709746d8b1d726d86 Take a look while it’s available!
