A historical fantasy writer is coming to Evesham this weekend.

Continuing his book signing tour of the Mildands, author Justin Newland will be signing copies of his novel ‘The Genes of Isis’ at WHSmith on Bridge Street.

From 10am to 3pm on Saturday, bookworms will be able to meet the Somerset writer who has appeared at numerous literary festivals and is a regular contributor to BBC Radio Bristol’s Thought for the Day.

His stories feature known events and real people from history, re-told and examined “through the lens of the supernatural”.

The Genes of Isis is described as a supernatural thriller set beneath Ancient Egyptian skies that follows a young woman’s spiritual journey from maiden to mother and from apprentice to priestess.

Justin will be on hand to scribble his name and a personalised dedication on his other novels - The Old Dragon’s Head, The Coronation and The Abdication.
