Last week featured crime writer Peter May who talked about his latest book, Lockdown, published recently but written and turned down by publishers in 2005 as its setting at the epicentre of a global pandemic, was at the time seen as irrelevant to readers.
Claire Fuller will talk about her novel Bitter Orange on May 1 and Carys Bray will talk about her new soon to be published book on May 8.
The Franco-British literary festival, Festilitt, is held every year in the small hill-top village of Parisot in Tarn-et-Garonne.
