Tunbridge Wells Literary Festival is back! Click here to check out our line-up, with more authors to be announced.
As part of this year's 'Gadgeteers!' themed Summer Reading Challenge, the incredible Vashti Hardy, award-winning author of the bestselling Brightstorm, Griffin Gate and Harley Hitch series, will be joining us in The Amelia Scott at 10:30AM on August 3rd for an unmissable author talk!
She'll speak about why science and engineering are important to her as an author, what it is that drives her to create logical, scientifically minded characters, and how the applications of real-world science and engineering assist her in building the worlds that these characters inhabit.
