On Saturday 15th May at 11.00am a long queue was forming at The Bookmark to have Lynda Page sign copies of her latest novel ‘Secrets to Keep’. Lynda who began writing her first book in her 45 minute lunch hour while working full time, has become one of Leicester’s celebrated successes as she has produced over 20 books in the last 22 years when she became a full time writer.She spent time with everyone who came to The Bookmark to get their book signed and wrote something personal to each and every one of them which showed what a veryfriendly and generous person she is and one who genuinely enjoyed meeting her readership, talking with them and reliving some of the characters from previous novels with them.
Two ladies from Syston said that they have every book she has written and how much they enjoyed them. They loved the characters and plots of the books and spent a lot of time discussing characters and plots with Lynda as they all queued patiently to meet her. Our picture shows Lynda signing books for Kitty Cooley and Mercy Lardner, both in their nineties and avid readers with Julie Hilton, also a fan of Lynda’s books.
One question asked was were she got her inspiration for the books and she explained that there was no one format, it varied from book to book.?
