SUMMARY:POSTPONED Book Launch: 'The Lady Of The Wight: The Life Of Isabella De Fortibus' by Johanna Jones
DESCRIPTION:Johanna was researching Isabella de Fortibus for one of her much enjoyed lectures back in 2015. She could not find a complete work about the life of the Lady of the Wight. We told her ‘You will have to write one yourself’ and so began years of enjoyable research for Johanna. Eventually Johanna was not able to continue. She and I had worked together for many years at Carisbrooke Church Shop in Newport\, and I had read several of the completed chapters. I took it over!\nPenny Keevil.\nBrought up in the Cathedral City of Wells\, I had lived alongside the heart of the mediaeval city and had attended Sunday School at the Cathedral. I accessed many places not open to the general public and developed a love of them all. Johanna has provided me with immense pleasure with her lectures and study days on local buildings over many of my 52 years living on the Island. Such topics\, as Island Houses; her research on Isabella\, the Lady of the Wight; the history of Carisbrooke Castle and her research on the local House of Industry\, which relates to my own family history and research on the Workhouse System. Her study days at the Castle given by the Museum have been a joy filling me with her enthusiasm and ability to bring the past vividly to life for us. I am delighted to be able to be given this brilliant book a chance to be widely read.\nLin Watterson

SUMMARY:Anthony Inglis\, author talk with two course meal
DESCRIPTION:Fizz on Arrival \nFollowed by 2 Course Dinner \nRoasted Chicken Breast\, Mushroom & Madeira Sauce\, Roasted New Potatoes\, Buttered Broccoli \nor \nTomato\, Roasted Pepper & Basil Risotto\, Parmesan Crisp\, Pea Shoots \nDesserts \nZesty Lemon Posset\, Forest Fruit Compote\, Shortbread \nor \nSelection of British & Continental Cheese\, Biscuits & Homemade Chutney \nDescribed by the Manchester Evening News as “One of Britain’s most popular conductors”\, Anthony Inglis was born into the Royal Air Force with nine of his relatives\, senior and distinguished pilots in the service. His family history however\, did not stop him from deciding at the age of six that he was going to conduct. \nAnthony knew academia was not for him and battled to persuade his teachers and even his own parents that he did not need educating at expensive private schools. In the end\, they agreed and he left school early to attend the Royal College of Music. His career has seen him conducting many famous orchestras and soloists\, travelling the world and working in genres from pop bands such as The Scorpions to Bizet’s opera Carmen. \nHis thirty-three year tenure at Phantom of The Opera in London and Music Directorship of two orchestras\, plus his continuing association with Cunard and Katherine Jenkins has meant that although he is at an age when people retire\, he continues to be busier than ever. \nThis is a story of perseverance\, hard work\, joy\, laughter\, anecdotes and passion\, in a career that he would (almost) do for free!

SUMMARY:4 Authors Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Overlooked – a novel by Ian Caro \nIan Caro was born in Castleford and lives on the Isle of Wight. He has worked as a stage manager\, a lighting designer\, a ghost writer and a lawyer\, and currently provides pre-publication legal advice to a number of national and regional news publishers. \nGeorge Orwell imagined a world where Big Brother is always watching. But what if Big Brother doesn’t care and no one is watching? \nAlex Winstone lives his life as if he’s constantly being watched. The Overlooked is the story of what happens when he discovers he’s not. \nSet in a world much like our own\, where morals are malleable and facts are whatever anyone can be persuaded to believe\, this pithy novel is a study in anxiety and an examination of truth in the age of tabloid churnalism. The obsessive\, insistent\, fractured narrative is edgy and tense – Nineteen Eighty-Four reimagined by the lovechild of Chuck Palahniuk and Ernesto Sabato. \nOut Of Darkness – selected poems by Barrie Singleton \nBarrie Singleton was born angry. Conceived without consultation and born without consent\, he has carried a disproportionate sense of injustice through almost eight decades. Age has mellowed him but his resolve has hardened – a latter-day Quixote sallying forth in verse to tilt at corruption\, hypocrisy\, false prophets and poor poets. \nOut Of Darkness takes forty-two tilts at philosophical thought (Part 1\, Deep Interstices)\, political animals (Part Two\, Whither?) and pretentious poets (Part Three\, Satirical Ballads). The style varies from poem to poem but the whole coheres around Barrie’s wry wit\, acute observation and irreverent railing against thoughtless thought. He knows his onions\, his science\, his English ad his human conditions\, and he abuses them all gloriously in this Quixotic selection. \nThe Shadowing Of Combfoot Chase-  by Hillard Morley \nHaving studied Literature at Durham University\, Hillard Morley Hillard Morley taught Drama and English for many years. In 2016 she made the decision to turn to writing full time\, and since then her work has been published in literary journals worldwide. In 2020 she was shortlisted for the Independent Arts ‘Jot’ Award and in 2018 she won the OWT Short Fiction Prize. The Shadowing of Combfoot Chase is her first novel. \nRooted in concerns about surveillance capitalism and told in polyphonic\, dark and witty episodes\, the novel reveals a society under threat. Thought-provoking\, frightening and funny in equal measure\, The Shadowing of Combfoot Chase asks us to consider the consequences of privacies being eroded through hyper-surveillance\, and challenges us not to take our freedoms for granted. \nFive Things I Can See –  by Fran Heath \nFran Heath is the author of bildungsroman novel\, Pencil Lead. She’s also written and illustrated a rhyming picture book – How We Choose to Play – and a book of dreams – Unconscious Adventures.\n\n\nHer second novel\, Five Things I Can See\, is a snapshot into one woman’s struggles with the anxieties of modern life\, motherhood and personal fulfilment. It will be published later this year.
