We will also have debut author David Goodman signing copies of A Reluctant Spy and Glasgow favourite Callum McSorley will be here signing Squeaky Clean.

Woodworker Callum Robinson, author of Ingrained, will also be here signing copies of his beautiful book. This one is a mixture of memoir and nature writing and will make a lovely gift.

Friday 29th November:
Braehead's favourite children's author Lindsay Littleson, author of Ice Cream Boy, and debut author Jack Jackman will be here with his book Maisie Vs Antarctica.

A wonderful selection of crime authors; Denise Mina who has graced our shelves with some wonderful Glasgow crime novels, Lin Anderson author of the Rhona MacLeod series and D.V. Bishop who created the character Cesare Aldo.

We will also be joined by C J Cooke and her creepy novels, The Book of Witching and The Ghost Woods to name two, and Lorraine Wilson who will be signing copies of her new book We Are All Ghosts in the Forest.

Last, but by no means least, Andy the Highlander will be here signing copies of his lovely book Lochs and Legends.
