“My dad and I organised an Author event at Redbridge central Library through our Facebook groups (‘Writers In The Wood’ and ‘Dr Clingbine’s Readers and Authors group.’)

“Our love for the English language, has created strong bonds with people as far away as America and France and as close as Essex and Hertfordshire. Meeting the lovely Mayor of Redbridge ‘Debbie Kaur-Thiara was a true honour. Authors donated many books to the library who in turn supported our event magnificently.

“Thanks go to The Mayor of Redbridge for visiting and talking to us about our books.
