She’s feeling the squeeze…The hilarious new novel from the highly-acclaimed author of Prime Time
‘Fresh, funny and wise’ Katie Fforde
Tess has downsized to a lively new town and is ready for “me” time. But her Zen-like calm is tested by her boomerang offspring, who keep fluttering back to the nest (usually with a full bag of dirty washing) and by her elderly mother’s struggle to hold on to her independence.
Tess is also surprised to discover that there are dark resentments simmering beneath the vintage charm of her new hometown and a spate of vandalism has exposed the rift between the townsfolk and new arrivals like Tess.
Tess enlists the help of gruff newspaper editor Malcolm to get to the bottom of the mystery but when her ex-husband pays an unexpected visit and her mother stages a disappearance, Tess starts to feel her new-found freedom wearing just a little thin…
Listen here to Jane being interviewed by Jez Hulme about her new book.

Friday 19th October 2018 – The Vinyl Revival with Graham Jones
The Pavilion – doors open at 7pm, film and interview start at 7.30pm. Tickets – £10.
Graham Jones has spent 30 years as a record company sales rep and is one of the founders of Proper Music, one of the largest independent music distributors in the UK.
He has many hysterical stories and anecdotes to share from the crazy world of record retailing – ever wondered how record companies ‘managed’ the charts – all will be revealed ! His third book “The Vinyl Revival and the Shops that Made it Happen” is scheduled for release in September 2018.
Graham also made a film called ‘The Last Shop Standing’ which tracks the rise, the fall and the rise again of vinyl and features Paul Weller, Johnny Marr and Billy Bragg.
A trailer for the film can be seen here www.lastshopstanding.com
We will be showing the film and enjoying an In Conversation with Graham. And just for fun he will also challenge your knowledge with a music quiz (prize for the winner!) To round off the evening there will be a book signing. This will be a very entertaining event.
