Looking ahead – next month I’ll be giving a talk and reading extracts from my book at St. Ives Library. This will be about when I lived and worked in St.Ives during the 1960’s and how it inspired the writing of my novel THE FORGIVING SAND. 
Please make a note in your diary! St. Ives Library, Gabriel Street at 3.30pm on Monday 15th September. It will be a chance for me to reminisce; I was a teenager then and St.Ives was all new to me. The event is part of the St. Ives September Festival, a fortnight of literature, arts and music when lots of different activities are taking place. It’ll be great fun for the town which is already bursting at the seams with art and creativity! To see more about the festival and list of events go to: http://www.stivesseptemberfestival.co.uk/
About Theresa Le Flem
I am a novelist, artist and poet and I live in Guernsey, Channel Islands, with my husband Graham, a Guernsey man. I have five novels published and am currently writing my sixth. There is also an anthology of my poetry and drawings available. A member of the Romantic Novelists' Association, The Society of Authors, the German Occupation Society and the Guernsey Society, I was born in London and among other counties in England including Kent, I lived and worked in Cornwall for many years. I love the sea and it often features as a backdrop to my novels. Recently I published my fifth novel, a Second World War historical novel which is set in 1942 during the German Occupation of Guernsey. This was a little known about episode in British History when the Channel Islands were invaded by the Nazis, an occupation which lasted five years. Since moving back to Guersney with my husband I have been captivated by the history of this small island.
